Donovann Jackson is emerging as UCSB’s late-inning lefty weapon
In the 2025 season, Donovann Jackson flashed real impact for UC Santa Barbara as a high-leverage left-hander, including a 0.79 Big West ERA with 24 strikeouts in 22.2 innings and multiple save/lockdown relief outings. He stands out for missing bats, attacking hitters with poise in pressure spots, and bouncing back after a rough opener to deliver strong three- and four-inning relief stretches in 2026. If you need a tough, versatile bullpen fit who can neutralize lefties and steady a game, he’s a very appealing arm.
