One of the pitchers that helped the Tigers great improvement from the previous couple of seasons was LHP Tyler Alexander.
Alexander, 27, was drafted by Detroit in the 2nd Round in 2015, and the former TCU Horned Frog made his big league debut on July 3, 2019 vs the Chicago White Sox.
Used primarily as a reliever who made spot starts, the Tigers leaned more heavily on Alexander after Matthew Boyd injured his elbow early on 2021.
Look at his final starts, and you'll see why we love Tyler and his future in the Motor.
👉 Those last three starts for Alexander were pretty darn good, and, that August 20th start against the Blue Jays was really, really, good.
👉 Hey, that's me, in Chicago, on October 3rd, watching Tyler start against the ChiSox.
It was so awesome to go to a Tigers game against the Southsiders and walk out a winner.
🌈 Rainbows are a beautiful sight.
🐯⚾️ Tyler pitched 6 innings, allowing just 4 hits, and 1 run, in a no-decision.
2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ A 2022 starting Tigers rotation of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, Wily Peralta, and Alexander seems pretty much set in stone, as Spencer Turnbull had season ending Tommy John surgery and my guy Boyd had surgery on his elbow and won't be back until June, at the earliest.
💗💗 I ordered this card of Tyler so I could post it in October as part of Save Second Base, supporting our friend, Collecting Cutch, and his annual blogging event to bring awareness to Breast Cancer. 🎀
Make sure to post those pink baseball cards!
