He made two starts during his third season at Triple-A.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old was promoted from Double-A to Triple-A in 2023 following a strong performance to open the season, going 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA across 36 innings with the Tulsa Drillers.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-621\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Gamboa went 3-6 with a 3.30 ERA in 22 games (12 starts) with OKC.

Even top prospects in the L.A. organization have waited an extended period of time before getting called up.<\/p>\n<p>Gamboa perhaps felt he had the best chance of continuing his career overseas, as he\u2019d have a better chance of showcasing his talents.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo Credit: John E.
