Terrance Gore<\/a><\/strong> passed away yesterday at age 34.\u00a0 According to a social media post from Gore\u2019s wife Britney, Gore unexpectedly passed following what was supposed to be a routine surgical procedure.<\/p>\nA veteran of eight Major League seasons, Gore had one of the more unique careers of any player in baseball history.\u00a0 Gore played in 112 big league games, but made only 14 starts and 85 trips to the plate, as Gore was almost exclusively utilized as a pinch-running specialist.\u00a0 Gore didn\u2019t hit much in the majors (.216\/.310\/.270 over his 85 PA) or even in the minor leagues, yet he carved out a niche for himself due to his glovework and blazing speed.<\/p>\n
On the basepaths, Gore stole 43 bases out of 52 attempts, and scored 33 career runs.\u00a0 As a defender, Gore posted +2 Defensive Runs Saved and +6 Outs Above Average over 188 1\/3 regular-season career innings in the outfield, seeing time at all three positions.<\/p>\n
Kansas City selected Gore in the 20th round of the 2011 draft, and he spent five of his eight seasons in a Royals uniform.\u00a0 The majority of Gore\u2019s big league time at the plate came during his 2019 season with the Royals, and he delivered a .275\/.362\/.353 slash line across 58 PA.\u00a0 Gore was a member of the Royals\u2019 pennant-winning teams in 2014 and 2015, stealing four bases in five attempts over eight postseason games in those two iconic seasons in K.C. baseball history.<\/p>\n
The Royals\u2019 2015 championship marked the first of three times Gore played for a World Series-winning team, as he also earned rings with the 2020 Dodgers and 2021 Braves.\u00a0 The back half of Gore\u2019s big league career saw him bounce around to several postseason contenders (the Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers, Braves, and Mets) looking to bolster their baserunning situation heading into the playoffs.\u00a0 Gore played in two regular-season games with the 2020 Dodgers but didn\u2019t see any playoff action, and he then spent the entire 2021 regular season in the Braves\u2019 minor league system before being included on Atlanta\u2019s NLDS roster.<\/p>\n
