The hopes and dreams for the future of the Detroit Tigers are built around a core group of young players who have worked their way up through the ranks and have landed, or will soon land in Detroit. At the center of that core group are two players who stand out more than any others; Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, and slugging outfielder Riley Greene. The duo represented Detroit at the All Star game in 2024, and led the team on their journey into October.
Skubal has gotten nationwide recognition, winning the “triple crown of pitching” after leading the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA, making the Cy Young award a foregone conclusion.
