Anthony Gose didn't want to pitch.
He made that clear, to his coach and to every one of the scouts who came to see him in Bellflower, California, in the days and weeks leading up to the 2008 baseball draft. And just in case they missed the message, Gose made sure to tell the Los Angeles Times the same thing.
No matter how many times anyone asked, he said he was an outfielder. He was not a pitcher.
"If I didn't have to do it again, I wouldn't even miss it," he told the Times.
