Among the strengths of the Detroit Tigers as Spring Training 2025 opens in Lakeland on Wednesday is certainly there starting pitching. With Jack Flaherty back in the fold, the club enters camp with a really strong trio of reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, 25-year-old Reese Olson, and Flaherty coming off one of the best seasons of his career. The rotation’s ace in the hole is also the game’s top pitching prospect, right-hander Jackson Jobe.
Jobe got his feet wet under pressure in September and in the postseason last year, but he wasn’t used as a starting pitcher at the end of a long campaign.
