Professional career

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres selected Gasser with the 71st overall pick in the 2021 Major League Baseball draft. [5] He was assigned to the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League Padres to start his professional career, where he made one appearance before being promoted to the Lake Elsinore Storm of Low-A West. [6]

Milwaukee Brewers

On August 1, 2022, the Padres traded Gasser, Dinelson Lamet, Taylor Rogers, and Esteury Ruiz to the Milwaukee Brewers for Josh Hader. [7] The Brewers assigned him to the Biloxi Shuckers of the Double-A Southern League. [8] In 2023, playing for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, Gasser won the International League Pitcher of the Year Award after leading the league with 166 strikeouts and posting a second-best 2.85 ERA. [9]

Gasser began the 2024 season back with Triple–A Nashville, compiling a 5.25 ERA with 17 strikeouts across three starts. On May 10, 2024, Gasser was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. [10] He made his first MLB start the same day and didn't give up a run across six innings, allowing just two hits, no walks, and striking out four. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel called the performance "a Brewers major-league debut for the ages." [11] He continued to have one of the best beginnings to a pitching career in franchise history, becoming the third Brewer since 1984 (along with Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta) to record an ERA below 2.00 in his first four career starts. [12] On June 20, it was announced that Gasser would require season–ending surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. [13]
