Allows four earned in no-decision Detmers didn't factor in the decision during Sunday's 12-11 loss to the Blue Jays after he gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks over five...

Impact The 23-year-old carried a 6-0 lead through five innings, but the Blue Jays came alive in the sixth on the back of a grand slam from Matt Chapman. Detmers generated 11 whiffs and threw 58 of his 89 pitches for strikes. In his first two starts of 2023 he's allowed eight runs (six earned) with a 12:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings.

Strikes out seven in season debut Detmers did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

Impact Detmers struggled with his command, but his stuff looked good and induced plenty of swinging strikes. Last year, his first full season in the MLB, the left-hander posted a 3.77 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 122 strikeouts over 129.0 innings, and he firmly entrenched in the Angels' rotation in 2023. Detmers is scheduled to pitch again Sunday at home versus the Blue Jays.

Velocity still up Detmers' average velocity on his slider in Tuesday's exhibition contest against the Dodgers was 90.3 mph, per Jared Tims of Talkin' Halos.

Impact Detmers' average slider was thrown at 85.8 mph last season, so the increased velocity this spring is notable. The southpaw also has shown marked gains on his fastball during the exhibition slate, throwing it about five mph faster than he did last season. Detmers had an up-and-down campaign as a rookie in 2022, but he finished with a respectable 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22.6 percent strikeout rate. If his velocity jump this spring proves to be sustainable, Detmers could take another leap forward this season.

Has another impressive outing Detmers tossed five innings against Milwaukee in a Cactus League contest Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

Impact Detmers was perfect through four innings against a Brewers lineup filled mostly with regulars before serving up a solo homer to Luke Voit in the fifth frame. The lefty hurler again showed increased velocity in comparison to last season, as his fastball sat at 94-96 mph and his slider at 88-91 mph, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Detmers may be poised for a breakout campaign, and he's supporting that notion with a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB through 13 innings this spring.

Showing big jump in velocity Detmers' fastball was clocked at 95-97 mph and his slider at 89-91 mph during his last Cactus League start against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers averaged 93.2 mph with his fastball and 85.9 mph with his slider last season, per Baseball Savant, so these are both notable bumps. His slider velocity did go up last year following a midseason demotion, but where he was sitting versus the Dodgers was even higher than that. Detmers said he didn't necessarily have a goal over the offseason to increase his velocity, but he did work with Driveline Baseball and training guru Eric Cressy. "I said I just want to get stronger and more explosive," Detmers said. "We made up a program for the whole offseason and I just stuck to that. And the velo came." Detmers had already been viewed as a potential breakout candidate in fantasy following his strong finish in 2022 and this news figures to only enhance his draft stock.

Impressive in spring debut Detmers pitched two scoreless innings in a Cactus League game against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing two hits and striking out five batters.

Impact Detmers looked dominant in his first spring action, striking out the side in the first inning and racking up two more Ks in the second. The lefty has posted a modest 22.1 percent strikeout rate through his first 30 big-league starts, but he's shown much more punchout potential in the minors, striking out 122 batters over just 68 innings. Detmers has some buzz as a potential breakout pitcher in fantasy this season, and increased strikeout numbers could certainly help that become a reality.

Strikes out nine in win Detmers (7-6) gave up one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win in a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Detmers had his heavy slider working well all evening and piled up nine strikeouts on 21 swinging strikes as the Rangers hitters looked overwhelmed by the pitch. It was a high note on which to end the 2022 season for Detmers. He struggled for most of the opening months but did in fact pitch the only no-hitter of 2022, before posting excellent numbers in July and August after a brief stint in the minors. The 23-year-old left-hander's flashes of dominance this season make him a high-upside candidate for 2023.

Shaky in sixth loss Detmers (6-6) took the loss against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out two batters over four innings.

Impact Detmers couldn't find his footing in the loss, allowing two runs in the first inning and one run in each of the following three frames. He didn't walk any batters but notched only two strikeouts -- his fewest since June 8. Detmers looked like he had turned a corner between July 8 and Aug. 13, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB over 36 innings across six starts during that stretch. He's taken a step back since, however, registering a 5.28 ERA and 1.72 WHIP along with a poor 22:11 K:BB over his subsequent six outings.

Surrenders 10 hits in loss Detmers (4-4) took the loss against Detroit on Saturday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Impact Detmers had been on a roll entering the contest, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 over six starts since his July 8 return from the minors. However, he clearly lacked his best stuff against the Tigers, as he recorded only three strikeouts and and surrendered four extra-base hits (all doubles). The Angels will hope that this was merely a blip on the radar and not an indication that Detmers is dealing with any sort of physical issue. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, the rookie's velocity was down a tick in the outing, so that's something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Yields two runs Detmers allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Detmers has recorded at least six strikeouts in eight straight starts, but he wasn't very efficient Saturday. The southpaw needed 96 pitches (62 strikes) to complete five frames, with Carlos Correa's solo home run and sacrifice fly accounting for the damage on his line. Detmers hasn't allowed more than two runs in one outing since the start of July. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 91:34 K:BB through 94 innings across 18 starts overall. The 23-year-old is projected for a favorable road start versus the Tigers next weekend.

Strikes out seven in win Detmers (4-3) earned the win in Game 2 of Saturday's 7-1 victory over Seattle, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in seven innings.

Impact Detmers kept the damage to a minimum early and surrendered only one run on a Luis Torrens solo shot in the fifth. This was the lefty's third straight start permitting one earned run or fewer.

Detmers possesses 3.44 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 82 strikeouts in 89 innings across 17 starts and lines up to pitch again versus Minnesota next weekend.

Strikes out 12 Detmers registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-2 loss to Texas, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with 12 strikeouts in seven innings.

Impact Detmers had his best stuff working Sunday, posting a season-high 12 strikeouts, recording an immaculate inning in the second and notching his second-best game score of the season at 74. The only thing missing was a win as a defensive miscue let the tying run cross the plate in the fifth and Los Angeles was unable to capitalize on nearly twice as many hits as Texas. The 23-year-old induced an astounding 24 swinging strikes on 105 pitches en route to the 12 strikeouts and concludes an impressive July with a 1.13 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings across four turns. He'll look to stay rolling next weekend with a road start in Seattle on tap.
