Jackson Jobe delivered a strong performance in his final start of the season on Friday night, racking up eight strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings of two-run baseball in a victory over the Pirates.
The 24-year-old right-hander scattered three hits on the evening while walking two. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning as Ryan O’Hearn smacked an RBI single and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Spencer Horwitz. Jobe generated 14 swings and misses on 86 pitches in the contest — five on his fastball — while registering an elite CSW of 41 percent. He finishes the 2026 season with a 3-3 record, 3.94 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 51/16 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his nine starts. The arrow is pointing sky high on Jobe heading into the 2027 season.
