SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers
After overcoming an injury, Jackson Jobe started to turn heads in the 2nd half of last season.
Only 21, he was the Tigers? #1 draft pick out of high school back in 2021. Last year, he rocketed through 4 levels of the minor leagues.
He is currently ranked as the #54 prospect in MLB and the top 10 in pitching. Out of those 10, he is routinely ranked as the #2 RHP. With the Tigers, he is their #3 prospect.
Jobe has developed 3 solid pitches and his slider is believed to be one of the best, if not the best. His control is excellent and he strikes out 1 batter per inning. In the Arizona Fall League, he was striking out app. 1.5 batters per inning.
Given his rough start to 2023, he still finished with a 2.81 ERA and an amazing .984 WHIP. He routinely throws in the mid-upper 90?s.
Jobe has been invited to his first spring training this year. While promising, he?s not expected to make the Opening Day roster. He has yet to pitch at the AAA level.
But how soon could he make the starting rotation?
What year will Jackson Jobe make the starting rotation?
1. Sometime later in 2024.
2. Not until 2025.
