Jason DeCaro is UNC’s high-end ace with postseason poise and a proven shutdown fastball
DeCaro has emerged as a true Friday-night anchor for North Carolina, posting a 2.03 ERA with 10 wins and 69 strikeouts in 71 innings through May 18 of the 2026 season, while becoming a 2026 Golden Spikes Award semifinalist. His calling card is reliability under pressure: he’s a two-time All-ACC selection, has already cleared 200 career strikeouts, and delivered one of UNC’s signature postseason-level outings with a two-hit shutout in a season-saving spot. He looks like a fit for teams that value size, strike-throwing, and big-game temperament.
