Jack Ross brings senior poise and weekend-start upside to UC Irvine
In the 2025 season, Jack Ross gave UC Irvine 35.1 innings across 14 appearances and four starts, posting a 3-2 record with a 5.35 ERA and 30 strikeouts; in early 2026, he already showed he can set the tone in big spots, including a win over San Diego with 4.1 innings, 3 strikeouts, and 2 hits allowed. The differentiator is his experience: a 6'3", 200-pound senior who has logged meaningful innings in multiple roles, competes with calm confidence, and has earned academic recognition too. He looks like a sturdy, battle-tested arm rather than a flash-and-burn prospect.
