26-Year-Old PitcherRP
Detroit Tigers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hurter made his MLB debut in 2024 and was a bit of a pleasant surprise for the Tigers. The 26-year-old posted a 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 38 strikeouts across 45.1 innings. What made the performance surprising was the fact that Hurter posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 71.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo earlier in the year, which also marked his first stop at that level. The unheralded rookie mostly pitched in relief for Detroit, though it was largely in a bulk role, and he also did make one start. Hurter benefited from a .236 BABIP, so some regression could be in store over a longer time period, but his 3.03 FIP suggests that he wasn't overly lucky. Following his successful debut, Hurter could transition into a more typical rotation spot in 2025, depending on how the Tigers approach their pitching staff. Either way, the young southpaw has put himself on the fantasy radar, and he makes for an intriguing upside play. Read Past Outlooks

Takes loss as opener
PDetroit Tigers
June 21, 2025
Hurter (2-3) allowed four runs (no earned) on two hits and two walks while retiring only two batters to take the loss Saturday against the Rays. He also hit a batter.
Analysis
Hurter served as the opener but struggled with control and couldn't complete the first inning. He was ultimately pulled after tossing 31 pitches (16 for strikes) and hitting his fifth batter of the year while also matching a season high in walks. The lefty has now allowed 11 runs across 10 innings pitched this month, though only four of them have been earned, and he still has a solid 2.29 ERA overall. Hurter should continue to work as a valuable reliever for the Tigers who also opens games on occasion.
