Jase Evangelista is UNLV’s strikeout-heavy late-inning weapon
In the 2026 season, Jase Evangelista gave UNLV a real relief ace profile: 64 strikeouts in 46.2 innings, a team-high four saves, and a knack for working multiple innings when the Rebels needed outs most. He doesn’t just miss bats—he attacked high-leverage spots, including back-to-back save chances and a six-strikeout finish against San Diego State. The catch: his 6.17 ERA and 1.48 WHIP show there’s real traffic on the bases, so he profiles as a power reliever with swing-and-miss upside rather than a clean, polished stopper.
