Jesse Gutierrez brings Friday-night upside and a comeback edge for SJSU
After a season-ending injury in 2025, Jesse Gutierrez returned for San José State in 2026 and flashed real value: in five appearances, he posted a 2.36 ERA before the injury, then later worked 5.2 innings with five strikeouts and one run allowed in a season-high outing against Washington State. He’s a left-handed starter with legit swing-and-miss stuff, a track record of handling big innings, and a proven ability to limit damage when his command is sharp. If your team wants a competitive, battle-tested LHP with upside, Gutierrez is absolutely worth a hard look.
