[edit | edit source]Cushing attended Edward S.

He was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 22nd round of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[2]
Cushing signed with Oakland and split his first professional season between the Arizona League Athletics and Vermont Lake Monsters, going 3–6 with a 6.00 ERA over 42 innings. He did not play a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season.[3] He opened the 2021 season with the Stockton Ports and was promoted to the Lansing Lugnuts and Midland RockHounds during the season.[4] Over 21 games (19 starts) between the three teams, Cushing went 7–7 with a 3.22 ERA and 111 strikeouts over 111+2⁄3 innings.[5] He began the 2022 season with Midland and was promoted to the Las Vegas Aviators in mid-June.[6] After struggling to a 14.14 ERA over 21 innings with the Aviators, he was demoted back to Midland in mid-July.[7] Over 19 starts with Midland, he went 11–3 with a 3.67 ERA and 95 strikeouts over 110+1⁄3 innings.[8] Cushing spent the majority of the 2023 season with Midland, but also appeared in three games for Las Vegas. Over 31 games (21 starts) between both affiliates, he went 8-6 with a 5.36 ERA and 130 strikeouts over 124+1⁄3 innings.[9]
Cushing split the 2024 campaign between Las Vegas and Midland, accumulating a 5-3 record and 3.77 ERA with 74 strikeouts and two saves across 37 appearances (five starts).[10] He returned to Las Vegas in 2025, compiling an 11-2 record and 6.67 ERA with 83 strikeouts across 38 appearances (six starts). Cushing elected free agency following the season on November 6, 2025.[11]
