Gage Jump
Gage Jump is a hold — the 5.47 ERA overstates the damage, but the skill is below league.
That bloated ERA is being propped up by a .345 BABIP-against, 50 points above league average, and that number is still noise — he has 279 balls in play of the roughly 800 needed before it means anything. His expected ERA is 4.63, and that is the number to trust at 437 batters faced: it is .53 above league average, not the near-five the box score implies. The strikeouts are real — 24.7% of batters, a touch above league — and his fastball at 96.3 mph sits well above average. But he walks 10.5%, and the expected ERA has been stepping up across the sample. The panic is overdone; the underlying pitcher isn't a buy, either. Hold.
