Jobe went on to throw strikes on 80 percent of his remaining pitches. The fastball sizzled. And most notably, the curveball maintained a tight shape and a devastating drop. Infielder Ryan Kreidler left the batter’s box shaking his head after his final at-bat.

Jobe was fine in his spring debut Tuesday, allowing two runs over two innings while striking out one, but he was a bit better Sunday as he dialed up the strikeouts and only allowed one run on a solo homer.
