With a full season as a reliever under his belt, Alex Lange looks to refine his command and control on his way to pitching in the Detroit Tigers bullpen in 2021.
Alex Lange was a late first-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 MLB draft. Coming off a 150 strikeout season and College World Series appearance at LSU, Lange was highly regarded for his mid 90s fastball and a power curve that outweighed concerns about his high effort delivery and inconsistent command.
