Tyler Alexander Closes The Year With Quality Start
3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyler Alexander ended the year on a high note on Sunday. Facing the Chicago White Sox, he pitched six innings and allowed four hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out four. The 27-year-old began the year in the bullpen before switching over to the rotation. He typically didn't pitch too deep into games after joining the rotation, but he did a solid job of limiting run scoring throughout the year. Over 106.1 innings on the season, he maintained a 3.81 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP and a 19.3% strikeout rate. The Tigers will have a lot of arms competing for a rotation spot next year. Alexander has a shot to earn a role in the back end of the rotation with a strong offseason.
