Thomas Cosgrove (born June 14, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.
Amateur career[edit]
Cosgrove attended Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island, New York.[1] He attended Manhattan College and played college baseball for the Manhattan Jaspers. In 2016, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen and Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2]
Professional career[edit]
The San Diego Padres selected Cosgrove in the 12th round, with the 348th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[3][4]
Cosgrove spent his first professional season with the rookie–level Arizona League Padres and the Low–A Tri-City Dust Devils. In 13 games (6 starts), he logged a 1–4 record and 3.22 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 44+2⁄3 innings pitched.[5] He spent 2018 with the Single–A Fort Wayne TinCaps, appearing in 24 contests (21 starts) and going 3–6 with a 3.71 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 116+1⁄3 innings of work.[6] In 2019, Cosgrove made only 9 appearances (all starts), splitting his time between the AZL Padres and the High–A Lake Elsinore Storm. Cosgrove did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
He returned to action in 2021, and made 22 appearances for the Double–A San Antonio Missions, posting a 2.36 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 26+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8] Cosgrove split the 2022 season between San Antonio and the Triple–A El Paso Chihuahuas. In a career–high 48 appearances, he registered an 8–2 record and 3.72 ERA with 82 strikeouts in 55+2⁄3 innings of work.[9] On November 15, 2022, the Padres added Cosgrove to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[10]
Cosgrove was optioned to Triple-A El Paso to begin the 2023 season.[11] On April 26, 2023, Cosgrove was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[12]
