Detroit Tigers starting pitchers have surprised this season. Whether it be Michael Fulmer positioning himself as the front runner for American League Rookie of the Year, or Matt Boyd and Daniel Norris thriving in the midst of a pennant chase, there have been plenty of surprises.
However, not all of the surprises have necessarily been positives. Mike Pelfrey has the highest WHIP among all starters with at least 100 innings pitched. Anibal Sanchez has struggled mightily at times.
Rounding out the list is new signing Jordan Zimmermann, who hasn’t pitched effectively as of late.
