Pitcher of the Week

In Tarik Skubal, the Tigers have found a must-watch ace
By Tyler Kepner
Skubal set a career high with 12 strikeouts and became the first Tiger in this decade to fan 12 without a walk. “He's one of the best pitchers in the game,” Judge said.
“Last year he was pretty much unhittable the second half of the season, and I think he's just kind of getting in his groove. Staying healthy for him is a huge thing, and he's doing all the right things to make himself great.”
“Asses and elbows all coming at you,” catcher Jake Rodgers and his health is reflected in his fastball.
The pitcher averages about 97 mph, he's Catfish Hunter
“I got him the first time, then he comes back and strikes me out and I was like, ‘All right, I'll remember that,'” Judge said. “It's impressive, man. It's fun competing against guys like that, especially the young ace of the team. I'm looking forward to more battles with him, that's for sure.” Aaron - The battles may be infrequent
