22-Year-Old PitcherSP
Detroit Tigers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Redraft players got a brief look at Jobe over four regular-season innings and 1.2 innings in the postseason before having to decide whether to pay the price for a potential full season of the electric young righty in the majors. His stuff is simply outstanding from both a velocity and movement standpoint, with upwards of four plus pitches at the age of 22. Jobe showed some control issues for the first time at Double-A, where he walked 38 batters in 73.2 innings (12.7 BB%). He only made two starts at Triple-A, but he walked five batters in nine innings there before issuing just one walk in his 5.2 MLB innings (including playoffs). With pitchers who are as young as Jobe and have that type of electric repertoire where all four pitches have outlier movement characteristics, it can sometimes take time to hone the strike throwing. Assuming his control comes around, the only issue with Jobe is workload. His 91.2 innings were a career high, as he dealt with a lumbar spine injury in 2023 and a hamstring strain in 2024. He's not a lock to make the big-league rotation, but he'll likely be given every opportunity to win a spot this spring. Read Past Outlooks

Jobe did not factor into the decision in Monday's 9-6 victory over Seattle, pitching four innings while allowing three runs on three hits and four walks. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
The Tigers rookie failed to reach the fifth inning and be eligible for the win despite his offense plating six runs in the first inning. Jobe struggled with his command in this outing, issuing four free passes after yielding six walks across 16.1 spring innings, and allowed two homers before being lifted after 79 pitches. Jobe will look to right the ship in his next outing, currently scheduled to be against the White Sox at home this weekend.

Stat Review
How does Jackson Jobe compare to other starting pitchers?
This section compares his stats with all starting pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 120 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Jobe was the top prep pitcher from the 2021 draft, and while he flashed loud stuff in 2022, he lacked consistency and didn't generate much buzz. He suffered a lumbar spine injury in 2023 spring training and didn't begin a rehab assignment until mid-June. The 21-year-old righty dominated in short stints in the lower levels while he built up his arm strength, and he seemed to get even better as he started pitching deeper into games while advancing to higher levels of the minors, culminating in a five-start run to close the year where he logged a 1.61 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 34:0 K:BB in 28 innings. Four of the five starts came at High-A, with the final start being six shutout innings in Jobe's Double-A debut. He sits in the mid-90s (touches 99 mph) with his fastball while also mixing in a changeup, cutter, slider and curveball that all flash at least plus. It's a complete and filthy repertoire, and he walked three batters in 46 innings at High-A and Double-A, so health/durability is the only potential hold up on future ace status. Jobe was sent to the Arizona Fall League to make up for lost time and finished the year with 79.2 innings, so he probably won't push much higher than 130-140 innings in 2024. The Tigers will probably play it conservatively and send Jobe to the minors for at least a half dozen starts, but he might look big-league ready in spring training.
Jobe threw his first 77.1 pro innings in 2022, making 18 starts at Single-A and three starts at High-A. His plus-plus slider and plus changeup are still excellent secondary offerings, but Jobe didn't dominate the way those who eschewed prep righty stereotypes and targeted him in first-year player drafts were hoping he would. Though his low-to-mid-90s four-seamer has been lauded for its movement, low-level hitters were able to do damage against that pitch. If we favorably ignore his first four appearances of the year, Jobe logged a 3.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 72:25 K:BB in 70 innings. He logged five-plus innings in eight of his last 13 starts, which is a strong trend for the third-overall pick from the 2021 draft. Jobe throws enough strikes, but he didn't miss enough bats at High-A, and there isn't anything to point to that suggests he's about to really break out other than his draft pedigree. So much can still go wrong for Jobe, given his age (20) and profession, so it's concerning that he stayed healthy in 2022 and his prospect stock still fell.
