Scout Updike Brings Live Arm and Versatility Back to Jacksonville After Injury-Shortened 2025
A redshirt junior right-hander for Jacksonville, Scout Updike logged a 4.66 ERA with a 1-1 record over 17 appearances in the 2024 season before missing the 2025 season due to injury, so the big question is health and bounce-back more than raw ability. What stands out is that he’s already proven he can work out of the bullpen in volume, and his profile suggests a pitcher with enough stuff and competitiveness to earn meaningful innings if he’s fully recovered. For a team, he’s a potentially useful low-risk arm with some upside if the medicals check out.
