Crafting a gameplan for Austin Gomber

2022 was a rough season for Austin Gomber. After showing a good amount of promise in 2021, pitching to a very solid 4.53 ERA (106 ERA+) across 23 starts and beginning 2022 as the clear-cut fourth starter, he struggled to a 5.97 ERA, losing his spot in the rotation in late June/mid July. His ERA did drop to 4.68 since being moved to the bullpen in late July, but the Rockies have been adamant about seeing Gomber as a starter long term, and it’s not hard to see why. After all, this is a guy who was quite solid just last season as a starter, and as we’ll see, has the tools to get guys out multiple times every five games.
