Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal owns a 2.23 ERA with 16 walks and 153 strikeouts across 121 innings in 19 starts during the 2025 season.

Detroit – The genesis of Tarik Skubal being named the American League’s starting pitcher in the All-Star Game Tuesday began with a phone call from Yankees ace Max Fried. “It was actually a really cool conversation from his perspective, because of his history with Atlanta and all that stuff,” Skubal said.
