Jacques signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers, earning an invite to Spring Training, aiming to secure a situational role after previous roster challenges.
Despite struggling in the majors with a 5.06 ERA in 2023, Jacques excelled in Triple-A, achieving a 2.54 ERA, largely due to his grounder-inducing abilities.
Jacques combines a sinker-slider/sweeper approach, maintaining a 60.4% ground-ball rate, which has made him a reliable, if not overpowering, asset for teams.
With limited hard throwers on the Dodgers' roster, Jacques' left-handed pitching might fill an important niche in the upcoming season.
