BURLINGTON, VT --- 2014 Lake Monsters pitcher Daniel Gossett was promoted from Triple-A Nashville to start for the Oakland Athletics on June 14th at Miami and became the 97th former Vermont player to reach the Major Leagues all-time.
After being selected by the Athletics in the 2nd round of the 2014 Draft out of Clemson University, Gossett went 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in 12 appearances for the Lake Monsters. He allowed just 16 hits with one walk and 25 strikeouts over 24 innings pitched that summer. 

He followed up his season in Vermont by going 5-13 with a 4.73 ERA in 27 starts for the Single-A Beloit Snappers in 2015. Last season Gossett pitched at three different levels (Single-A Stockton, Double-A Midland and Triple-A Nashville), going a combined 10-6 with a 2.69 ERA and 151 strikeouts over 153 2/3 innings in 27 starts.
