With Riley Greene’s blast in the 6th inning today, the Tigers hit 9 HRs in Mar/Apr. In 2022, they had 8 HRs in Mar/Apr.

They have 24 games left.

Hey there! Been a while, but I come with a custom GIF that I hope works on here. Basically it's using Driveline's biomechanics information and it shows 2 pitches thrown in sync with each other from the catchers POV.

Dillon Dingler is just the 7th Tigers catcher to hit a home run in the post season. 1 more and he ties Lance Parrish for 2nd all time, 2 more HR ties Alex Avila for most.

If Tarik Skubal gets 3 more starts and averages 7 IP per start, he’s can give up 2 runs to end the season with an ERA less than 2.00 on the season. Would be the first for a Tigers starter with 20+ starts since Denny McLain in 1968.

If he keeps every 5th day he faces Miami, Cleveland, Cleveland.

The #Tigers are 17-7 (.708 Win%) this year when leaving 9+ guys on base. That’s the best win percent in the league.

They are 3-0 when facing Minnesota with that criteria this year!

Bigger curse — the #Tigers are 358-5 in their history when leading by at least 7 runs through the 4th!
Let me curse the win really quick.

The #Tigers this year are 26-1 when leading by 3+ runs through 4 innings. That’s the most wins with that criteria.

Tigers starter to get a start with 7+ IP, 0 BB, and 0 ER within their first two starts:

Troy Melton

I don’t know if this makes anyone feel better, but the 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers had a span where they were 1-12 and went on to win 104 games and make the playoffs. Even made the World Series.

7 other teams did so and made the playoffs still.

He's also tied with Jackson Jobe for 5th most 99+ MPH pitches by a Tigers starter since 2008. It's a pretty small list though as he's just the 8th to even do so.
With that 7th K, Melton ties 5 others for the second most Ks for a Tigers pitcher who made their MLB debut.

Not his best outing, but it's not all bad!

Pitchers since 2006 to have 6+ starts, 36+ IP, and a 31.0%+ K%-BB% in a single AAA season:

Troy Melton

Can’t wait for his debut tomorrow.

Will Vest is just the 11th guy to have an appearance that has:

1.1+ IP
4 BF
2+ Ks
0 hits
9 or fewer pitches

(Jarlin Garcia had 1.2 IP because he was able to get a double play on the first batter he faced)

He’s the 3rd to get the save!

That Riley triple now gives him an OPS of .814 with RISP, which would make him the 6th Tigers hitter with an OPS .814 or better with RISP and at least 60 PA.
July 12, 2025 at 1:04 AM
I might curse this but…

Tarik Skubal could be the 19th pitcher to complete the 1st half with:

120+ IP
84+% Win/Lose%
ERA <= 2.00

He would be the 1st since Clayton Kershaw in 2016 and 2nd Tiger joining Hal Newhouser. @stathead.com

Made a 3D swing path with 3D strike zone using the Driveline Biomechanics project.

I wonder if we should be talking about the strike zone less as a 3x3 grid and more of a 3x3x3 grid given how it needs to be covered.

Different site, same great stuff!
Junior Caminero has the flattest swing path of any of the competitors in the Derby, & is also tied for the lowest attack angle.

But something pretty interesting: after a first month of not really pulling in the air, he's been doing it consistently for weeks.

And that's happening because: Very clear changes in Caminero's attack angle and attack direction. Interesting!

I also want to show you all this animated bat path plot that I made using the Driveline Biomechanics data that I also shared on the other site.
