REID DETMERS NEWS

Picks up second win Detmers (2-5) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Detmers allowed multiple runs for the first time since June 1, but he still emerged with his fourth straight quality start. He's also racked up at least eight strikeouts in each of his last five starts. The southpaw's strong pitching has helped to get his season numbers back on track -- he's at a 3.72 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 103:31 K:BB across 82.1 innings through 15 outings. He's had some bad luck with getting wins, but he's putting himself in position for more if he can keep up the good work. With the Angels having just five games left before the All-Star break, Detmers may not start again until after the Midsummer Classic.

Continues dominant stretch Detmers allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Monday.

Impact Detmers didn't get the necessary run support to emerge with a win Monday, but he still put forth one of the best efforts of his career. The southpaw finished with his second double-digit strikeout performance of the campaign and notched his third straight quality start after recording just one such effort over his first 11 outings. Detmers has been very impressive over his past four starts, registering a 1.05 ERA and 34:8 K:BB over 25.2 frames. The 2020 first-round draft pick is posting a career-best 11.1 K/9 on the season along with an above-average 3.77 ERA, though he has just one win in 14 starts thus far.

Produces seven shutout frames Detmers struck out eight and didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Dodgers after he allowed two hits and one walk across seven scoreless innings.

Impact The 23-year-old delivered his best start of the season as he went toe-to-toe with Clayton Kershaw for seven innings, but he had to settle for a no-decision since the Halos bullpen was unable to maintain the scoreless tie. Detmers has covered at least five frames in each of his last seven outings, and he has given up just two runs with a 24:6 K:BB in his last three starts. The left-hander has a 1-5 record but a solid 4.02 ERA through 69.1 innings this year.

Punches out eight in no-decision Detmers did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out eight.

Impact A Leody Taveras homer in the third inning was the lone run Detmers allowed Wednesday. The 23-year-old left-hander has struck out eight in consecutive starts while allowing just one run in each outing. He's lowered his ERA from 5.15 to 4.48 with his last two performances while sporting a 1.46 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 62.1 innings. Detmers will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week against the Dodgers.

Registers first win Detmers (1-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out eight.

Impact Detmers finally earned his first win of the campaign after several mediocre outings. This was the southpaw's first time not allowing multiple runs in a start this season. The 23-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Rangers on the road in his next appearance.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Falters in fifth inning Detmers (0-5) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over five innings.

Impact Detmers allowed just one run through four frames before the Astros got to him for three runs on four hits and a walk in the fifth. It was a familiar pattern for the left-hander, as he's struggled mightily in his third time through the order so far this season. Detmers has failed to pick up a win across his first 10 starts on the campaign, and his 5.15 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 50.2 frames are a big part of the problem. However, he's posted a more promising 3.62 FIP along with a career-best 10.7 K/9, so the potential for a turnaround is there if he can solve his issues in getting through the order a third time.

Takes fourth loss Detmers (0-4) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks over 5 innings against the Marlins. He struck out five.

Impact While this wasn't a disastrous outing, Detmers has hardly had any standout starts this year, either. Outside of the southpaw's solid outing at Boston on April 16 (two runs over 6.1 innings), he hasn't been able to complete six innings in a game this year. With the 23-year-old posting a 4.93 ERA and 1.53 WHIP so far, he's not a trustworthy option at this point.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sets season-high in strikeouts Detmers did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out 12.

Impact This was Detmers' first time reaching double-digit strikeouts in a start this year. The southpaw has now strung together two consecutive decent starts after lasting just four innings in the loss against Texas on 5/6. The 23-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Red Sox at home in his next appearance.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still chasing first victory Detmers did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

Impact Detmers seemed primed to pick up his first win of 2023, exiting the game with a 3-2 lead that reached 6-2 by the bottom of the eighth. However, a six-run offensive barrage by the Guardians quickly ruined any hopes of a Detmers win, as Cleveland took a two-run advantage and held the Angels off the board in the top of the ninth. Detmers fell victim to a Guardians team that strikes out the second-fewest times per game, fanning just three batters after recording at least six punchouts in five of his first six starts. Though the 23-year-old has found success in the strikeout column, he has yet to find ways to keep runners from scoring with a 4.89 ERA through 35.0 innings. Detmers is slated to toe the rubber again next Friday against the Twins, who strike out the third-most in MLB.

MAY 7, 2023 • MLB.COM

Inefficient in loss Detmers (0-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.

Impact Detmers threw 60 of 94 pitches for strikes, but Rangers batters were able to foul off 23 of those pitches. His two shortest outings of the season have been his last two, where he's allowed a combined 10 runs (seven earned) over 8.1 innings. The good news is that he hasn't allowed a home run in that span. Detmers now has a 5.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB over 30 innings spanning six starts. He's projected for a road start in Cleveland next weekend.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes second loss of season Detmers (0-2) took the loss Saturday, allowing seven runs on four hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Brewers. He struck out six.

Impact Detmers struggled against Milwaukee after allowing just four runs over his previous 12 innings. The southpaw has not been a reliable option as of yet this season, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through five starts. However, the former 10th overall pick in 2020 still has plenty of upside, as evidenced by his no-hitter against Tampa Bay on May 10th, 2022. Detmers is tentatively slated to face the Rangers at home in his next start.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up two solo homers Detmers did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Kansas City. He struck out six.

Impact Detmers has yet to earn a win this season, having picked up three no-decisions and a loss in his first four starts. He was able to limit damage Sunday, allowing just solo home runs to MJ Melendez and Vinny Pasquantino and managing to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the fourth. However. he was yanked after 5.2 innings at 90 pitches with only a runner on first. Detmers owns a 4.15 ERA this season but has generated 10.38 K/9.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out seven in losing effort Detmers (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings during a 2-1 loss to Boston. He struck out seven.

Impact Aside from a go-ahead, two-run homer from Justin Turner in the third, Detmers was sharp and struck out at least seven for the second time over his first three starts. However, he couldn't get ample run support and suffered his first loss of the season. Though three outings (16 innings), Detmers has allowed eight earned runs, including two homers, but he has a solid 19:6 K:BB. The left-hander's next start is tentatively scheduled during the Angels' upcoming three-game set versus the Royals.

Allows four earned in no-decision Detmers didn't factor in the decision during Sunday's 12-11 loss to the Blue Jays after he gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks over five...

Impact The 23-year-old carried a 6-0 lead through five innings, but the Blue Jays came alive in the sixth on the back of a grand slam from Matt Chapman. Detmers generated 11 whiffs and threw 58 of his 89 pitches for strikes. In his first two starts of 2023 he's allowed eight runs (six earned) with a 12:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out seven in season debut Detmers did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Impact Detmers struggled with his command, but his stuff looked good and induced plenty of swinging strikes. Last year, his first full season in the MLB, the left-hander posted a 3.77 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 122 strikeouts over 129.0 innings, and he firmly entrenched in the Angels' rotation in 2023. Detmers is scheduled to pitch again Sunday at home versus the Blue Jays.

Velocity still up Detmers' average velocity on his slider in Tuesday's exhibition contest against the Dodgers was 90.3 mph, per Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos.

Impact Detmers' average slider was thrown at 85.8 mph last season, so the increased velocity this spring is notable. The southpaw also has shown marked gains on his fastball during the exhibition slate, throwing it about five mph faster than he did last season. Detmers had an up-and-down campaign as a rookie in 2022, but he finished with a respectable 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22.6 percent strikeout rate. If his velocity jump this spring proves to be sustainable, Detmers could take another leap forward this season.

Has another impressive outing Detmers tossed five innings against Milwaukee in a Cactus League contest Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

Impact Detmers was perfect through four innings against a Brewers lineup filled mostly with regulars before serving up a solo homer to Luke Voit in the fifth frame. The lefty hurler again showed increased velocity in comparison to last season, as his fastball sat at 94-96 mph and his slider at 88-91 mph, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Detmers may be poised for a breakout campaign, and he's supporting that notion with a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB through 13 innings this spring.

Showing big jump in velocity Detmers' fastball was clocked at 95-97 mph and his slider at 89-91 mph during his last Cactus League start against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers averaged 93.2 mph with his fastball and 85.9 mph with his slider last season, per Baseball Savant, so these are both notable bumps. His slider velocity did go up last year following a midseason demotion, but where he was sitting versus the Dodgers was even higher than that. Detmers said he didn't necessarily have a goal over the offseason to increase his velocity, but he did work with Driveline Baseball and training guru Eric Cressy. "I said I just want to get stronger and more explosive," Detmers said. "We made up a program for the whole offseason and I just stuck to that. And the velo came." Detmers had already been viewed as a potential breakout candidate in fantasy following his strong finish in 2022 and this news figures to only enhance his draft stock.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in spring debut Detmers pitched two scoreless innings in a Cactus League game against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing two hits and striking out five batters.

Impact Detmers looked dominant in his first spring action, striking out the side in the first inning and racking up two more Ks in the second. The lefty has posted a modest 22.1 percent strikeout rate through his first 30 big-league starts, but he's shown much more punchout potential in the minors, striking out 122 batters over just 68 innings. Detmers has some buzz as a potential breakout pitcher in fantasy this season, and increased strikeout numbers could certainly help that become a reality.
