Manager A.J. Hinch emphasized, "When you look at Ty, you can miss a few things if you're not careful. If you look at it recently, he's struck out a lot of hitters, lowered his walk and made a few adjustments through our player development that we're really excited about. He's earned this opportunity based on those adjustments."
With the Tigers needing to protect Ty Madden from the Rule 5 draft, promoting him allows them to make a decision on his future now rather than risking his selection later. This proactive approach underscores the Tigers' commitment to developing their prospects.
Madden showcases potential but inconsistent performance has led to concerns. He holds a 5.63 ERA in his best Triple-A stretch, raising questions if he can manage the transition to MLB, particularly with offspeed pitches being a focal point.
Detroit Tigers selected Madden in the 2021 draft at No. 32 overall, indicating their belief in his potential. However, his struggles at Triple-A, including a 7.97 ERA are concerning as he makes his MLB debut against the White Sox.
