Jace Gillmore gives Santa Clara a true weekend-starter profile
Gillmore has emerged as Santa Clara’s No. 2 weekend starter in 2026, going 4-4 with a 3.84 ERA and 59 strikeouts while showing swing-and-miss stuff, six-foot-five size, and the ability to work deep into games. [5][2] His best outing was a seven-inning, one-hit gem against Portland, a sign he can dominate when his command is synced up, and his academic honors also suggest a dependable, high-character fit for a staff that values consistency. [1][2][5]
