Trevor Vaughan Gott (born August 26, 1992) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Tacoma Rainiers. He has previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Washington Nationals, San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, and New York Mets.
He played college baseball at the University of Kentucky, and was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the sixth round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft. He made his MLB debut in 2015.
Early years
Gott was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He was a pitcher on the Southeast Lexington team that went to the Cal Ripken 12-and-Under World Series in 2005. During one game in that series, he struck out nine batters in three innings.
Gott attended Tates Creek High School. In 2010, a writer with The State Journal referred to him as "one of the best pitchers in the state." As a senior, he was 6-0 with a 1.12 ERA and 76 strikeouts in 47.1 innings, and batted .382 with two home runs and 13 RBIs. He was the Gatorade Kentucky High School Player of the Year.
College career
Gott played college baseball at the University of Kentucky for the Wildcats from 2011 to 2013. After his freshman year, he pitched for the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League, where he was the winner of the Russell Ford Award as the league's reliever of the year. As a sophomore in 2012, Gott set the Kentucky record for saves in a season with nine. Before the start of the 2013 season, Gott had recovered from a minor bout of bursitis and he was on the preseason watch list for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award. That year he broke his own single-season save record, finishing with 12, and he also set the school's all-time saves record with 20.
Professional career
San Diego Padres
In early 2013, Baseball America named Gott as the second-best draft prospect from the University of Kentucky behind Corey Littrell. The San Diego Padres drafted Gott in the sixth round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the Padres for a $200,000 signing bonus and made his professional debut with the Eugene Emeralds of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League. After making four appearances with Eugene in which he pitched to an earned run average (ERA) of 2.08, walked three, and struck out eight in 4+1⁄3 innings with no decisions, he was promoted to the Fort Wayne TinCaps of the Class A Midwest League. He finished the season with the TinCaps, making 27 appearances for them and pitching 31+2⁄3 innings in which he walked 12, struck out 33, posted a record of 2–2 and an ERA of 2.56, and recorded his first four professional saves in five opportunities. He finished the 2013 season with 31 appearances and a 2.50 ERA overall, with 15 walks, 41 strikeouts, four saves, and a record of 2–2 in 36 innings of work.
Gott started 2014 with the Lake Elsinore Storm in the Class A-Advanced California League and was named a California League All-Star. He pitched 31+1⁄3 innings in 29 games for Lake Elsinore, striking out 31, walking nine, posting a record of 2–2 and an ERA of 3.16, and recording 16 saves in 20 opportunities. He was promoted to the San Antonio Missions of the Class AA Texas League in July 2014. In 10 appearances for San Antonio, he had no decisions, but he struck out 11, walked nine, and pitched to a 4.63 ERA in 11+2⁄3 innings of work.
