2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gusto was slated to make his big-league debut on the final day of the 2024 season as a starter against the Guardians, but the game got canceled due to inclement weather. The 25-year-old righty still found his way onto the 40-man roster and has been mentioned this offseason by manager Joe Espada as a big-league rotation option heading into 2025. Gusto's only above-average pitch is his changeup, while his low-90s fastball is unremarkable and he throws a pair of OK breaking balls. It's his above-average control that could allow him to have success in the right matchup. Gusto logged a strong 8.5 percent walk rate in 148.1 innings at Triple-A last year, but his 22.6 percent strikeout rate was the worst mark of his career. He could be a useful streamer in deeper mixed leagues if opportunity arises, and at 6-foot-4, 232 pounds, he's built to handle a full season's workload. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Gusto had been optioned earlier this month but has ultimately been included as part of the Opening Day bullpen. He's been a starter for most of his minor-league career and should serve as a multi-inning relief option.
