\"RangersThe Texas Rangers added some pitching experience to their organization on Sunday.<\/p>\n

They’ve signed free agent left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber to a contract, according to MLB reporter Aram Leighton.<\/p>\n

It’s a minor league contract, which Leighton reports will come with an invite to spring training.<\/p>\n

Gomber was originally a fourth-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2014 MLB Draft out of Florida Atlantic.<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/p>\n

Gomber made his MLB debut with 29 appearances in the 2018 season with the St. Louis Cardinals, when he had a 4.44 ERA.<\/p>\n

In 2020 with the Cardinals, his ERA was 1.86 in 14 outings.<\/p>\n

From there, he joined the Colorado Rockies for five seasons.<\/p>\n

With the Rockies, pitching at altitude, Gomber had a 5.31 ERA.<\/p>\n

Gomber started 109 of his 125 appearances with the Rockies, so he can work in a rotation if needed.<\/p>\n

MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew McCutchen is not happy with the Pirates<\/p>\n

His career strikeouts per nine innings is 6.9, with 2.8 walks per nine.<\/p>\n

He has allowed 1.5 home runs per nine innings in his career, higher than you’d want, although at least partly attributable to pitching in Coors Field.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly a worthy attempt by the Rangers to see if Gomber can make it work somewhere outside of Denver.<\/p>\n
