Jorge DeCardenas is a high-leverage USF bullpen arm with real strikeout bite
In the 2026 season, Jorge DeCardenas emerged as one of South Florida’s most reliable relief options, going 2-0 with a 4.44 ERA over 24.1 innings while holding hitters to a .247 average and going a perfect 3-for-3 in shutting down the running game. He’s a durable righty at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds who brings strike-throwing, multi-inning flexibility, and swing-and-miss flashes; in the 2025 season, he logged 50 strikeouts in 49.2 innings and even posted nine strikeouts in a seven-inning relief outing. If you want a bullpen piece who can steady games and attack hitters, he fits the bill.
