Career

De Jesus is from Valencia, Venezuela. When he was 16 years old, he signed a professional contract with the Boston Red Sox.[1] In 2018, while pitching for the Greenville Drive, De Jesus started a no-hitter that was completed by Devon Fisher and Durbin Feltman.[2] He became a free agent after the 2021 season and signed with the San Francisco Giants.[3] He played for the Venezuelan national baseball team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.[1]

On September 8, 2023, the Marlins promoted De Jesus to the major leagues.[4] In two games for Miami, he allowed eight runs on nine hits and four walks with five strikeouts across 6+1⁄3 innings of work. Following the season on October 31, De Jesus was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.[5] He elected free agency on November 6.[6]

On December 17, 2023, De Jesus signed a one–year, $800K contract with Kiwoom Heroes of KBO League.[7]
