Meet Detroit Tigers lefty prospect Tarik Skubal, maybe the steal of 2018 draft

After the Detroit Tigers 2018 MLB draft, most of the focus was on Casey Mize, the first-overall selection.

For good reason.

Mize has been outstanding, climbing to Double-A Erie and he promptly threw a no-hitter in his debut for the Erie SeaWolves.

There have been others from that draft who have generated headlines and buzz: outfielder Parker Meadows (second round), second baseman Kody Clemens (third round) and outfielder Brock Deatherage (10th round).

But here’s another player from that draft who keeps turning heads: Tarik Skubal, a left-handed pitcher, whose fastball touches 95 m.
