Tigers Invite Jackson Jobe To Big-League Spring Training
11 months agoDetroit Tigers pitching prospect Jackson Jobe has received an invitation to big-league spring training for the first time in his professional career. Drafted third overall out of high school in 2021, the 21-year-old right-hander was recently named the No. 2 ranked right-handed pitching prospect by MLB.com after a quality season between the Tigers' minor-league system and the Arizona Fall League. Jobe was out of action for three months to begin the season due to a back injury but returned to post a 2.25 ERA and a superb 25% K-BB% in six starts at Single-A. He also made eight starts at the High-A level in 2023, working to a 3.60 ERA alongside a massive 31.9% K-BB%. His minor-league season finished with one scoreless Double-A start before he worked to a tidy 2.87 ERA with 19 strikeouts against five walks across four starts and 15 2/3 innings in the Arizona Fall League, going 3-1 in the process.
