In four college seasons (2020-23), Vaupel compiled a 13-5 record with a 3.76 ERA in 36 games (30 starts). “Kevin is another big signing for us,” said Goldeyes field manager Logan Watkins . “I came across him combing through the free agent list and liked what I saw statistically over the course of his career. Once we contacted him and acquired video, it was easy to see that he is a really good, young pitcher with a lot of upside. We already have some left-handed relievers signed, but Kevin was too good not to pursue. He fits what we look for from a pitching perspective: high strikeouts and low walks. I think he has a chance to be one of our better pitchers on the staff in 2026.” Winnipeg now has 19 players under contract for the 2026 season.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson , returning for his seventh season in Winnipeg. Lambson started 20 games in 2025, posting an 8-6 record with a 4.86 earned run average and 138 strikeouts. He was voted as last-man-in on the West Division roster in the 2025 American Association All-Star Game. The 35-year-old has become a staple in the Goldeyes’ record books, appearing among the franchise leaders in most pitching categories. He ranks second in wins (42), strikeouts (438), innings pitched (557), and complete games (12), and fourth in games started (75). Overall, the native of Montclair, California has made 114 appearances for Winnipeg between 2017 and 2025 and has compiled a 42-23 record with a 4.06 ERA. 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. 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), Lambson also pitched in the Atlanta Braves’ and Milwaukee Brewers’ organizations, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions. “Mitch is another great veteran addition, said Goldeyes’ field boss Logan Watkins. “He battled through a little bit of arm trouble last year towards the end of the year, but made every start for us. In fact, for a big portion of the season, he was the only one of our original starting pitchers healthy in the rotation. He brings so much experience, and we know every time he takes the ball, we have a chance to win. He's never going to overpower anyone, but he's a dying breed of pitchers who know how to control the game by mixing up his pitches and relying on location. I know our fans will be happy to see him back.” In a separate transaction Wednesday, the Goldeyes traded the rights to outfielder Tanner O’Tremba to the Lincoln Saltdogs in exchange for future considerations. O’Tremba suited up in 69 games for the Goldeyes in 2025, hitting .215 with six home runs and 31 runs batted in. Winnipeg now has 17 players under contract for the 2026 season.
