Kevin Gausman has made his pro debut. How are things going?
On Monday, Centennial, CO, native Kevin Gausman made his professional debut nearly one month after he signed his contract with the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles sent him to the short-season New York-Penn League to play with their affiliate club, the Aberdeen IronBirds.
Though he took a no-decision after pitching just three innings, Gausman struck out two and did not allow any baserunners. The strikeouts came back-to-back in the first inning, one a called strike three, the other a swinging strikeout.
The IronBirds won the game, 4-1, over the State College Spikes. Back-to-back doubles in the first inning put Aberdeen up 3-0.
The fourth overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, Gausman will make his home debut at Ripken Stadium on Sunday against the Connecticut Tigers at 12:35 p.m. MT.
