He did not pitch professionally last year after going 21-10 with a save and a 3.61 ERA in 58 games, including 41 starts, in three seasons with Florida State. Jump was drafted in 2024 and was named A’s Organizational Pitcher of the Year after compiling a 9-7 record, 3.28 ERA and .598 opponents OPS in 26 games, including 24 starts, with Lansing and Midland.
