The Detroit Tigers haven’t swung the bats all that well early on, but that’s usually how it goes in spring camp. The pitchers are ahead of the curve at this point, but that gap starts to close pretty quickly as we move through early March. On Sunday, Jackson Jobe gave them a good outing and the hitters flexed some muscle, cracking three home runs as they romped to a 10-4 victory on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
We got a really fun pitching matchup in this one. Jackson Jobe is the top pitching prospect in baseball this side of Roki Sasaki, and he took on a talented young right-hander in Pirates’ right-hander Jared Jones.
