He made 11 total appearances, and recorded a stellar 0.53 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 33+23 innings pitched.[4]

He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Gudiño returned to action in 2021, playing for the Double–A Richmond Flying Squirrels and Triple–A Sacramento River Cats.
