Tarleton State’s steady swingman is quietly becoming a problem for hitters
In the 2026 season, Ethan Jaques has been a high-leverage weapon for Tarleton State, going 4-0 with a 2.76 ERA and a team-defining mix of strike-throwing and poise in big spots[1][2][5]. He’s logged multiple scoreless outings, including three hitless innings at Texas and four shutout innings against Le Moyne, and earned recognition as a former WAC Pitcher of the Week[4][5][6][7]. The edge here is composure: he’s not just getting outs, he’s taking the ball against quality opponents and making them look ordinary[4][5].
