Eickhoff played baseball and basketball at Mater Dei High School in Indiana. He was primarily a third baseman, and only began pitching during his junior year. Eickhoff went mostly unnoticed by scouts and college recruiters until October 2008, where, as a senior with his fall travel team, Eickhoff pitched seven strong innings at the World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) National Championships.{{cite news |last1=Montemurro |first1=Meghan |title=Trio of Phillies took junior college path to reach majors |url=https://www.delawareonline.com/story/sports/mlb/phillies/2016/06/11/trio-phillies-took-junior-college-path-reach-majors/85725020/ |access-date=June 21, 2021 |work=The News Journal |date=June 12, 2016}} Eickhoff would eventually become the second Mater Dei alumnus to play in MLB, following Rob Maurer.{{cite news |last1=Engelhardt |first1=Gordon |title=Mater Dei grad Eickhoff to make MLB pitching debut Friday |url=https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/blogs/baseball/2015/08/20/mater-dei-grad-eickhoff-to-make-mlb-pitching-debut-friday/87410524/ |access-date=June 21, 2021 |work=Evansville Courier & Press |date=August 20, 2015}}

College career

Following his WWBA performance, Eickhoff received offers from baseball programs at schools like Michigan State and Indiana University, but many of those programs wanted him to play as a walk-on pitcher. A scout for the Baltimore Orioles suggested that Eickhoff attend a junior college, where he was more likely to receive playing time. Eickhoff ultimately committed to play college baseball as a pitcher for Olney Central College in Olney, Illinois. After his freshman season, the Chicago Cubs selected Eickhoff in the 46th round of the 2010 MLB Draft.{{cite news |last1=Engelhardt |first1=Gordon |title=Blake Monar, Jerad Eickhoff could go early in MLB draft |url=http://archive.courierpress.com/news/blake-monar-jerad-eickhoff-could-go-early-in-mlb-draft-ep-445474403-327470921.html/ |access-date=June 21, 2021 |work=Evansville Courier & Press |date=June 4, 2011}} He declined to sign with the team, choosing instead to return to Olney.{{cite news |title=Eickhoff Added to Rangers 40 Man Roster |url=https://www.olneycentralathletics.com/sports/bsb/2014-15/releases/201412124ii58r |access-date=June 21, 2021 |work=Olney Central College Athletics |publisher=Olney Central College |date=December 12, 2014}} That year, Eickhoff played collegiate summer baseball with the Wisconsin Woodchucks of the Northwoods League.

As a sophomore in 2011, Eickhoff continued to grow as a player, with his pitch velocity reaching up to {{convert|95|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}. He posted a 10–4 record and a 1.90 ERA for the year, enough to win the title of Great Rivers Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year.

In 2018, Eickhoff was 0–1, with a 6.75 ERA, and struck out 11 batters in {{fraction|5|1|3}} innings. In a game on September 28, against Atlanta, he tied a Phillies franchise record shared by Steve Carlton in 1981 and Curt Schilling in 1996 (later broken by Aaron Nola in 2021) by striking out seven consecutive batters at one point. Eickhoff missed most of the season due to a strained back muscle, followed by a return of the numbness in his fingers, which caused him to be put on the disabled list. He met with a number of specialists during the summer to evaluate nerve damage that was leading to the numbness, twinges, and tingling in the fingers of his right hand, especially when he threw his curveball; their diagnoses ranged from thoracic outlet syndrome (which was ruled out) to carpal tunnel syndrome, and Eickhoff was given two cortisone shots.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/09/phillies-rumors-carlos-santana-third-base-trade-maikel-franco.html|title=Phillies Notes: Santana, Franco, Hoskins, Eickhoff|website=MLB Trade Rumors|date=September 25, 2018 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/video/jerad-eickhoffs-makes-season-debut-still-throwing-strikes|title="Jerad Eickhoff's makes season debut, still throwing strikes" | NBC Sports Philadelphia}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/phillies/what-do-phillies-do-with-jerad-eickhoff|title=So ... what do the Phillies do when Jerad Eickhoff's ready to go?|website=RSN|date=June 23, 2018 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/jerad-eickhoff-strikes-out-7-straight-batters-c296442956|title=Eickhoff K's 7 in a row in Phils' 9th straight loss|website=MLB.com}} In 2018, with the High–A Clearwater Threshers, Reading, and the Triple–A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, he was 0–1 with a 2.90 in eight starts.
