Jack Pineau has emerged as Creighton’s dependable strike-throwing ace with real Big East bite
In the 2026 season, Jack Pineau became Creighton’s go-to starter, finishing 7-3 with a 4.21 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings, while earning multiple BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week honors[1][4][6]. What makes him intriguing is the mix of competitiveness and durability: he worked six shutout innings against Seton Hall and Butler, struck out eight in each outing, and repeatedly handled high-leverage situations with poise[5][9][10][14]. He looks like a polished, strike-throwing right-hander who fits a staff that values consistency, mound presence, and innings.
