Jackson Jobe Earns Fifth Rotation Spot For Detroit
4 hours agoDetroit Tigers pitching prospect Jackson Jobe has earned a spot in the rotation for the upcoming campaign after a spring season that saw him allow five earned runs in 12 1/3 innings pitched (3.65 ERA) on seven hits (four home runs) and four walks while striking out eight batters. The Tigers sent RHP Keider Montero to Triple-A and manager A.J. Hinch stated that veteran RHP Kenta Maeda will work out of the bullpen in 2025, freeing up the final spot for Jobe. The former third-overall draft pick spent most of last season at Double-A, although a left hamstring strain caused him to miss time in the middle of the season, but he was eventually promoted to Triple-A and ultimately made his MLB debut for the Tigers in September. The righty even made two relief appearances in the postseason for Detroit. The No. 5 prospect in baseball is armed with a strong four-pitch arsenal that includes a four-seamer that can touch triple digits at times. With his upside, the 22-year-old is worth rostering in all fantasy leagues especially given his low price tag in drafts, however, it's worth noting that he is only eligible at RP on Yahoo to begin the year.
