Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Starting 2022 in Low-A

Jobe will open this season at Low-A Lakeland and will have his innings limited, the Detroit Free Press reports.

After going third overall in the 2021 Draft, Jobe didn't get into any minor-league action last year, but he's impressed as usual this spring. With a high-90s fastball, a slider with wicked spin and a refined changeup, he's well ahead of your typical 19-year-old. Jobe has ace upside, so the real question is whether he can stay healthy and maintain his command as he climbs through the minors. Don't count on seeing him in Detroit until 2024 at best, though.
