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
Lacks control in no-decision
Gusto didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rays after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Gusto was already at 31 pitches after one inning, which effectively set back the rest of his outing. The right-hander has really struggled to provide length for the Astros this season, as he's thrown at least five innings just twice among his seven starts and has a shaky 5.83 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB over 29.1 innings as a starter. Working in Gusto's favor is a soft matchup that tentatively lines up for next week against the Pirates, who own a dismal .639 OPS in the month of May, but he remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.
