It seems that weekly, the contest for the last 2 remaining starting pitcher changes. Pitchers just picking up steam, some falling back, some taking quantum leaps.
So who will – who should – earn those last 2 slots?
A. J. Hinch has said repeatedly that it will not be based upon the box scores. That any decisions made will “go beyond the box score.” That means it will be about who controls the strike zone the best, who consistently strikes out players and who has the best and biggest arsenal. Also considered is velocity and experience.
So who will join Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty and Reese Olson? There are 4 in the running. But keep in mind that 1 of them will get sent down when Alex Cobb returns.
Here’s what you need to know:
JACKSON JOBE (rookie with 4 IN MLB experience)
KENTA MAEDA (veteran with 8 yrs. experience)
- 12.1 innings pitched 7 R/5 ER 3.12 ERA/.81 WHIP 8 SO
- Throws the hardest but problems controlling the strike zone and working 2-strike counts
- Throws 4 pitches, just added new one this spring
CASEY MIZE (2 full years + 9 additional starts)
- 12.2 innings pitched 13 R/8 ER 5.68 ERA/1.11 WHIP 19 SO
- Leads team in SOs and has picked up his velocity from 2024 (revamped his training program)
- Throw 7 pitches but is being encouraged to throw fewer
KEIDER MONTERO (rookie with half a season)
- 11.1 innings pitched 4 R/ 0 ER 0.00 ERA/0.79 WHIP 14 SO
- Throwing harder and only pitcher who has given up no earned runs
- Throws more pitches than the other 3, revamped throwing program, turned slider into 3 different pitches, added valuable sweeper pitch
Which 2 starting pitchers would you select to join the rotation?
- 5.2 innings pitched 6 R/4 ER 6.35 ERA/1.59 WHIP 9 SO
- Throws 5 pitches
- Changed mechanics and now throws 6 pitches
Today, we’ve got 2 polls – 1 for each SP. Make sure to vote for 1 in each of the polls.

1. Jackson Jobe
2. Kenta Maeda
3. Casey Mize

I get that...but he sucks
Boras won't take that. He's going to be looking for at least $250M. If they can't work out an extension, trade him.Tarik Skubal contract prediction should have Tigers trying to hammer out deal ASAP.

The Athletic's contract prediction for Tarik Skubal should leave the Tigers with no excuse not to extend him.motorcitybengals.com
MCBTB
what are they doing down there???
Unless they find some positions for him and malloy to play the field its kinda hard to roster both. We already have a bad defender at 1st and 2nd with Colt and Torres. Can't have 4 or 5 holes lol
exactly!
