Jackson Jobe 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: An Ace In The Making?
Injuries limited Detroit Tigers right-hander Jackson Jobe to 91 2/3 innings in 2024, but that was a career-best mark. He posted a 2.36 ERA with 96 strikeouts and 45 walks, earning his MLB promotion at season's end. With the Tigers, Jobe tossed four relief innings without allowing a run. The fastball sits in the mid-to-upper 90s with plenty of carry-up in the zone, averaging over 17 inches of IVB from a 6'0" release height. It touches triple-digits and shows impressive traits, making it a plus offering. Jobe's slider is his best pitch, sitting around 82 mph with a ton of sweeping action with spin rates up to 3,200 RPM. The pitch gets anywhere from 12-17 inches of horizontal movement and misses bats at a high clip. Jobe added a cutter to bridge the velocity gap between the fastball and slider, sitting around 90 mph with good carry and five inches of horizontal movement. One of Jobe's biggest progressions in the last two seasons was the development of his changeup. The pitch sits 84-85 mph with nice depth and consistently 15 inches of fade. It was his best swing-and-miss pitch in 2024. This offseason, Jobe added a sinker and a curveball. The Alex Cobb (hip) injury means Jobe should be in the rotation out of camp in 2025.
