A's Prospect Gage Jump on the Rise

Oakland Athletics are poised to call up Gage Jump, a lefty phenom with a 97 mph fastball and 56 Ks in 38 innings at Triple-A, ranked 41 overall and 3 in the A’s system. Drafted by the Padres in 2021, he chose UCLA before elbow surgery sidelined him—then transferred to LSU, where he dominated and skyrocketed his stock. The A’s grabbed him in the 2nd round in 2024, and he’s ascended rapidly: from High-A to Double-A last year, now crushing it in Triple-A with Pitcher of the Week honors. With rotation uncertainty, Jump could debut this weekend against the Yankees—and fans are already buzzing. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
