A regular starter for Gahr, Jake Ourique surprisingly came out of the bullpen in the second round of the CIF-SS playoffs, entering in the 4th inning and immediately making his presence felt. The junior LMU commit delivered a dominant relief performance, throwing a hitless outing that featured 6 strikeouts and completely shut down Etiwanda’s offense after jumping to a 5-1 lead. Building off his first-round start, where Ourique went 6 innings with 8 strikeouts and just 1 hit allowed, the LHP once again flashed his advanced four-pitch mix: fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup. His fastball had late arm-side run, almost mimicking a two-seam with the way it got in on hitters and produced soft contact. The curveball served as a sharp, go-to secondary pitch, and when paired with his deceptive changeup and occasional slider, it kept hitters off balance and chasing outside the zone. What stood out most was his ability to command the zone and work ahead in counts with confidence. He looked completely in control from the moment he stepped on the mound, showing the same poise and presence that made him one of Gahr’s most trusted arms all season. Despite not getting the start in this crucial second-round matchup, Ourique showed exactly why he's viewed as a top-tier arm in the 2026 class, mixing quality stuff with mature mound presence and a competitive edge.
