Braggo Gustin  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Gustin has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. Dating back to his days in the minors, Gustin has been more effective against righthanders than lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Gustin does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Gustin is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Gustin has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Gustin as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Gustin flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Gustin.
