Former LSU baseball pitcher Gage Jump could be in the major leagues sooner rather than later. Here's how he's faring in 2026.
Former LSU baseball starting pitcher Gage Jump is playing well to start his second season of professional baseball. He's in Triple A with the Las Vegas Aviators, an affiliate of the Athletics. Jump is getting reps as a starter, just as he did last year in High-A and Double-A.
Through three games, he struck out 16 over eight innings. The lefty currently holds a 2. 61 ERA and 1.
