Spencer Turnbull

Detroit Tigers – Pitcher

Some of the pitchers in the American League have really started their debut campaigns strong. The unfortunate case for some of them is the teams they are on aren’t the greatest or have not been great in the past couple seasons.

That is the case for the next candidate as well as Spencer Turnbull.

Turnbull has been a bright spot in the Tigers rotation along with Matthew Boyd.

In 32 innings, Turnbull has struck out 31 batters, has limited them to a .220 batting average and holds a 2.53 ERA

Turnbull is in the top ten in ERA behind the likes of Justin Verlander, and ahead of the likes of Blake Snell.

Turnbull is to be part of the future of a rotation that just two years ago was anchored by the aforementioned Verlander. Now he is showing that the future of the Tigers rotation is strong.
