Night in and night out, fans across Major League Baseball continue to fall in love with Pittsburgh Pirates’ right-handed pitcher Jared Jones.
In just five starts spanning 29 innings, Jones is 2-2 with a 2.79 ERA and averaging seven or more strikeouts per game, becoming just the fourth pitcher to average that amount in five games, and just the second Pirates pitcher to accomplish the feat. Others on the list include Jose DeLeon, who did it with the Pirates in 1983; Stephen Strasburg with the Washington Nationals in 2010; and Masahiro Tanaka with the New York Yankees in 2014.
