Phil Gosselin
Philip David Gosselin (nicknamed "Barrels", and "The Goose"; born October 3, 1988), is an American former professional baseball utility infielder. The Atlanta Braves selected Gosselin in the fifth round of the 2010 MLB draft; he made his MLB debut in 2013 with the Braves. He also played in MLB for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and Los Angeles Angels.
Gosselin was born in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Malvern Preparatory School ('07), where he played shortstop on the baseball team.
Gosselin then attended the University of Virginia, where he played college baseball for the Virginia Cavaliers. As a junior in 2009 Gosselin set a university record for hits in a season (100) while batting .382 (mostly as the leadoff hitter) as he earned First-Team All-ACC and Third-Team All-America honors. After the 2009 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League. Gosselin ranks 6th in Virginia history in career doubles (50), and 10th in RBIs (145) and total bases (345).
The Atlanta Braves selected Gosselin in the fifth round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft.
Gosselin was called up to the majors for the first time on August 16, 2013. He debuted the same day, in the tenth inning of a game against the Washington Nationals. Gosselin was outrighted off the Braves roster on November 5, 2013.
Gosselin was called back up by the Braves on July 13, 2014, when Dan Uggla was suspended by the team for one day. Gosselin was again recalled by the Braves on July 26 after Uggla was released. On August 15, Gosselin hit his first MLB home run, against the Oakland Athletics. He batted .266/.304/.320 in 378 at bats for the Atlanta Braves in 128 games. In the minors, as he batted .344 (second in the International League)/.379/.487 with 5 triples (tied for 7th in the league) for the Gwinnett Braves, he was named a 2014 International League mid-season and post-season All Star, and Player of the Week on July 14.
Gosselin made the Braves' Opening Day roster in 2015, and batted .325/.357/.425 in 40 at bats over 20 games before fracturing his left thumb against the Miami Marlins on May 17 while diving for a ground ball. The injury required surgery, and Gosselin missed eight weeks of the season.
On June 20, 2015, Gosselin was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Bronson Arroyo and Touki Toussaint.
