Jaxson Gore gives Washington a live arm with strikeout upside and starter relief flexibility
In the 2026 season, Washington right-hander Jaxson Gore has been a useful arm in multiple roles, appearing in 13 games with three starts and logging a 5.47 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 24.2 innings.[1] His calling card is swing-and-miss stuff, but his results have been uneven, with some sharp outings mixed with rougher starts.[1][2][3] The Huskies seem to trust his competitiveness and versatility, and he’s the kind of pitcher who can help a staff if he sharpens command and limits big innings.[1][3]
