Skylar Jones is a steady, strike-throwing righty giving New Orleans real bullpen-to-starter flexibility
In the 2026 season, Skylar Jones posted a 3.81 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 26 innings, earning three wins and one save for the Privateers[7]. New Orleans’ own preview notes he was one of only two pitchers to make multiple starts for the 2025 staff, which points to real trust and swingman value[1]. He looks like the kind of arm coaches like: durable enough to start, useful in relief, and experienced in leverage spots; the win over Southern also showed he can settle things down after early traffic[14].
