Gibaut made his professional debut with the Princeton Rays and spent all of 2015 there, going 3-1 with a 2.12 ERA in 29.2 innings pitched in relief. In 2016, he pitched for the Bowling Green Hot Rods and Charlotte Stone Crabs where he compiled a combined 2-2 record, 2.53 ERA, and 1.25 WHIP in 57 total innings pitched, and in 2017 he pitched with Charlotte and the Montgomery Biscuits where he was 7-1 with a 2.21 ERA in 48 combined relief appearances between the two teams.[7] Gibaut spent 2018 with the Durham Bulls, going 4-3 with a 2.09 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP, striking out 75 batters in 56 relief innings pitched.[8]
