Tigers Prospect Jackson Jobe Showcases Confidence in Spring Training

Detroit Tigers' up-and-coming pitcher Jackson Jobe, one of MLB Pipeline's top pitching prospects, demonstrated his confidence and skill during a spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite the Tigers' 5-0 loss, Jobe threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and striking out Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Jobe's performance highlighted his potential, and his post-game comments showcased his unwavering confidence. "I'm done with trying to dot a gnat's a--," Jobe said via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. "Just, here's my stuff. If you hit it, good. Odds are, probably not."
​
Jobe's confidence is backed by his impressive track record. Last season, he was called up late to aid the Tigers' postseason run. In his two regular-season appearances from the bullpen, Jobe threw four innings, surrendering just one hit and no earned runs. He also made two postseason appearances, throwing 1 2/3 innings and giving up five hits and three earned runs. As Jobe prepares for his rookie season, he is expected to join the Tigers' starting rotation. His spring training performance and confident mindset suggest he is ready to make a significant impact on the team's success.
