Austin Gomber has had a challenging season, reflected in his 2-6 record with a 4.70 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP over 105.1 innings pitched. Gomber has struck out 72 batters while walking 26 and allowing 19 home runs. His performance has been inconsistent, struggling to find the form that made him a promising pitcher in previous seasons.

In his recent starts, Gomber has shown glimpses of potential but has been unable to string together consistent outings.
