Tigers have a chance to provide a glimpse of the future

The Detroit Tigers have been one of baseball’s worst teams for the past four seasons, but they can now boast a few highly ranked prospects

Tigers' AJ Hinch on left-hander Tarik Skubal: 'He has some weapons' Tigers manager also talks about Michael Fulmer, who was roughed up in his outing against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Tarik Skubal takes another step toward securing spot in Tigers rotation Hinch said the fictitious Little Caesars' Player of the Game was Derek Hill, who had two hits and made nine putouts in center field.

Michael Fulmer crushed, Tarik Skubal strong in Detroit Tigers' 10-6 loss to Blue Jays Michael Fulmer got shelled for seven runs in the Detroit Tigers' 10-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. But lefty Tarik Skubal was excellent.

Strikes out two in debut Skubal pitched two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. He allowed one hit and struck out two.

Impact Casey Mize and Matt Manning might have a little more hype, but Skubal is another promising young arm in Detroit. The lefty looked sharp in his spring debut, and he's hoping to build off an uneven MLB debut in 2020, when he posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across eight games (seven starts). Skubal did strike out 37 batters in his 32 innings of work last season, though he also averaged 3.1 walks per nine innings. If the 24-year-old can exhibit better control in 2021, he certainly has the stuff to put up solid numbers.

Working on splitter Skubal said he is working to add a splitter to his pitch arsenal in spring training, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Skubal said he's modeling his new pitch after fellow young pitcher Casey Mize. "If I could take Casey's splitter -- that's a pitch that I'm learning -- so if I could take Casey's splitter and just add it right to my arsenal, I would really like that," Skubal said. The 24-year-old lefty threw a fastball 58.9 percent of the time last season and mixed in a changeup, but the splitter could become his new out pitch if it develops. Skubal is vying for a rotation spot out of spring training and is one of several promising pitching prospects within the Detroit organization.

Why Detroit Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal was ahead of the curve in 2020 Detroit Tigers left-handed rookie Tarik Skubal exceeded expectations in his first MLB season — a sign of even more success to come.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • FREEP.COM

Fans six in loss Skubal (1-4) allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings Sunday to take the loss against the Royals.

Impact Skubal served as the primary pitcher in the regular-season finale, and he began his outing with two scoreless innings. However, he gave up solo home runs to lead off the fourth and fifth innings, which gave the Royals a lead that the Tigers' offense couldn't overcome. The 23-year-old showed promise in his first taste of major-league action in 2020, posting a 5.63 ERA and 37:11 K:BB over 32 innings across eight starts.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Following opener Sunday Skubal will pitch out of the bullpen following an opener Sunday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Each of Skubal's first seven MLB appearances have come as a starter, though his workload looks more like that of a multi-inning relief pitcher, as he's averaged less than four innings per appearance. He'll handle a handful of innings Sunday, but it will be Jordan Zimmermann on the hill to start the game.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No-decision Tuesday Skubal didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's contest between the Tigers and the Twins. He allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while fanning six across 3.2 innings.

Impact Skubal has failed to complete four innings in four of his seven starts this season, but he has fanned at least six in three of his last four starts. He can't be trusted to pitch deep into games, but Skubal has shown the ability to miss bats and will try to close out the season on a strong note in Detroit's season finale at Kansas City on Sunday.
