Skip to content

Today, we’re unveiling the 10 best prospects in the Tigers system entering 2025.

The top of the Tigers system is headlined by Jackson Jobe, a near-perfect pitching prospect who, after making his big league debut in 2024, should be just about ready to slide into the rotation and give Detroit a potent 1-2 punch alongside Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.
