Gage JumpATH · SP

2026 review

Gage Jump got his shot as a rookie starter and the strikeouts came before the results did, a 24.7 K% and a 10.5 BB% over 437 BF, but the runs piled up around it. He made 20 starts for ATH after his contract was selected May 26, throwing 98.2 IP over 437 BF with a 5.47 ERA and 1.52 WHIP, going 6-11 with 12 HR allowed, before a left shoulder impingement sent him to the 15-day IL Sep 15, retroactive to Sep 13, with no activation on record through Sep 27 and 14 regular-season days missed. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1302, he finished 1255th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 772nd of 811 pitchers and 207th of 236 starters. His 5.47 ERA ran 0.84 above his 4.63 xERA over 437 BF, and he posted a 2.31 ERA in 35.0 IP in Jun against a 7.58 ERA in 29.2 IP in Aug. The TDK LABS card opened with the late-May callup as one of the system's better left-handed prospects, by early Jul had his command and contact management fall off sharply, by late Aug had him missing more bats than ever with home performance trending better than the road numbers, and by late Sep had him on the injured list with the shoulder impingement.
