Michael Fulmer crushed, Tarik Skubal strong in Detroit Tigers' 10-6 loss to Blue Jays Michael Fulmer got shelled for seven runs in the Detroit Tigers' 10-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. But lefty Tarik Skubal was excellent.

Strikes out two in debut Skubal pitched two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. He allowed one hit and struck out two.

Impact Casey Mize and Matt Manning might have a little more hype, but Skubal is another promising young arm in Detroit. The lefty looked sharp in his spring debut, and he's hoping to build off an uneven MLB debut in 2020, when he posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across eight games (seven starts). Skubal did strike out 37 batters in his 32 innings of work last season, though he also averaged 3.1 walks per nine innings. If the 24-year-old can exhibit better control in 2021, he certainly has the stuff to put up solid numbers.

Working on splitter Skubal said he is working to add a splitter to his pitch arsenal in spring training, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Skubal said he's modeling his new pitch after fellow young pitcher Casey Mize. "If I could take Casey's splitter -- that's a pitch that I'm learning -- so if I could take Casey's splitter and just add it right to my arsenal, I would really like that," Skubal said. The 24-year-old lefty threw a fastball 58.9 percent of the time last season and mixed in a changeup, but the splitter could become his new out pitch if it develops. Skubal is vying for a rotation spot out of spring training and is one of several promising pitching prospects within the Detroit organization.
