WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Sunday the acquisition on loan of left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson from the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican Baseball League.
Lambson won an American Association championship with the Goldeyes in 2017 and was named the league's Pitcher of the Year following the 2019 season, during which he went 13-4 with a 3.11 earned run average.
Overall, the 34-year-old made 90 appearances for Winnipeg between 2017 and 2020 and compiled a 32-17 record with a 3.77 ERA. Lambson pitched eight complete games, including three shutouts, and struck out 340 batters.
Lambson was chosen by the Houston Astros in the 19th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Arizona State University (Tempe, Arizona). He also pitched in the Atlanta Braves' and Milwaukee Brewers' organizations. The native of Montclair, California reached the Class-AAA level on two occasions.
Lambson is scheduled to start Sunday's contest in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin where Winnipeg will wrap up a three-game series with the Lake Country DockHounds at 1:05 p.m. CDT. Kelvan Pilot (4-2, 3.56 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Lake Country.
