Once a ninth-round pick out of Seattle University, Skubal blossomed from obscurity into stardom over the course of his time with the Tigers. The 29-year-old ace boasts a rare combination of power and command.Skubal throws an upper-90s fastball that is capable of reaching triple digits. His best pitch is his changeup, an offering that generated a 48.6 percent whiff rate in 2025. He also throws a sinker, slider and curveball, all of which can be potent pitches when Skubal is on.
