Big-bodied Utah Valley RHP with late-inning upside, but 2026 command has wobbled
In the 2026 season, Trey Jacobsen showed usable bullpen value for Utah Valley, including a save in the opener at Pacific, but his overall line has been rough: 12.10 ERA and 2.59 WHIP in 9.2 innings with 7 strikeouts and 1 save. The appeal is still obvious: a 6-foot-5, 210-pound right-hander who has flashed a fastball up to 95 mph, giving him power-relief traits and real strikeout potential when his delivery is synced up. He looks like a fit for teams betting on velocity, frame, and upside over instant polish.
