Jackson Jobe Allows Two Runs Across Two Frames
15 seconds agoDetroit Tigers starting pitching prospect Jackson Jobe allowed two runs during his spring debut. The right-hander logged two innings of work. His lone blemish came against young Baltimore slugger Heston Kjerstad, who hit a two-run shot off Jobe in the second frame. Jobe also severed up one free pass but did tally a strikeout. The budding ace is expected to be a favorite to land a spot in the starting rotation, with Alex Cobb (hip) set to miss at least a month of action. The former third-overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft made his MLB debut late in the 2024 season. He tossed four shutout innings and only allowed one hit and one walk. He spent most of the summer with Double-A, where he held a 1.95 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP across 73 2/3 innings. He tallied 81 punchouts but served up a high 38 walks. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Jobe's development during camp, but he should be viewed as an intriguing late-round upside starting pitcher.
