Tarik Skubal has been on a roll this season, striking out an impressive 10 batters in just 7 innings pitched for the Guardians. But what’s even more remarkable is his overall record: 10 wins and only 2 losses, with a minuscule ERA of 2.02 and a WHIP of 0.81.
Skubal’s journey to success began when he was drafted by the Tigers in the 9th round after completing his college career at Seattle University. Now, as an advised client of Scott Boras, Skubal is using his platform to advocate for equity in youth baseball.
On the mound, Skubal has shown incredible prowess, including a 94-pitch complete game shutout against the Guardians, where he struck out 13 batters with a blazing fastball that reached speeds of 102.6 mph – the fastest recorded in the StatCast era.
