Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
27-year-old reliever Zach Jackson made his MLB debut on April 9 against the Phillies. He led off with a walk before inducing a 6-4-3 double play and finishing off a 1-2-3 inning with his first big league strikeout. He’s built a pretty stellar line through 19 appearances since then:
- Jackson, MLB 2022: 2.89 ERA, 18u2154 ip, 25 Ks, 12 BB, 0 HR, 2.50 FIP
The rookie righty still has all three options left, but if he keeps pitching the way he is they may never be needed.
