Career

edit

Gusto played college baseball at Florida SouthWestern State College and was selected by the Houston Astros in the 11th round of the 2019 MLB draft.[1]

In 2024, Gusto pitched for the Sugar Land Space Cowboys of the Triple–A Pacific Coast League (PCL). He was named the PCL's Pitcher of the Month for July 2024.[2] In 29 games (26 starts) for the Space Cowboys, he compiled an 8–6 record and 3.70 ERA with 141 strikeouts across 148+13 innings pitched. On September 29, 2024, the Astros selected Gusto to the 40-man roster and promoted him to the major leagues for the first time.[3] However, Gusto was unable to make his debut after Houston's season finale was canceled due to rain, and he became a phantom ballplayer.[4]
