BIOGRAPHY
Trevor Gott was born August 26, 1992, in Lexington, Kentucky. He is a pitcher in the MLB.
Gott played college baseball at the University of Kentucky for the Wildcats from 2011 to 2013. After his freshman year, he pitched in 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.
On February 13, 2019, after being designated for assignment, Gott was acquired by the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash. Pitching for the Giants in 2019 he was 7-0 with one save and a 4.44 ERA, as in 50 relief appearances he pitched 52.2 innings and struck out 57 batters. Gott made 15 appearances for the Giants in 2020, pitching to a ghastly 10.03 ERA with 8 strikeouts and 13 earned runs over 11.2 innings of work. On February 21, 2021, Gott was designated for assignment after the signing of Aaron Sanchez was made official. On February 25, Gott cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A.
On April 19, 2021, Gott was selected to the active roster. He was designated for assignment by the Giants the next day without making an appearance for the team.
