Following an utterly dominant season down in the minor leagues, Tarik Skubal is now on MLB Pipelines’ Top 100 Prospects list following the graduation of San Diego Padres infielder Luis Urias. This means the Detroit Tigers now have four players in the top 100. Skubal joins righthanders Casey Mize (No. 2) and Matt Manning (28), and outfielder Riley Greene (48) on Pipeline’s list.
This honor is very well earned for the southpaw. Skubal has been turning heads since being a ninth round selection in the 2018 draft. He finished out that draft year playing with a 0.
