a sturdy strike-throwing arm with transfer-tested grit
In the 2026 season, Jackson Evers gave Jacksonville State a usable right-handed relief arm, posting a 4.58 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 17.2 innings while holding opponents to a .265 average. The appeal is the profile: a 6-foot-3, 210-pound junior who has bounced from Ole Miss to Northwest Florida State and into a bigger role, showing enough swing-and-miss to matter but some command looseness too. For a staff looking for a competitive, experienced bullpen piece with upside, he’s a reasonable fit—especially if you value durability, toughness, and a pitcher who’s been around the block a bit.
