Final Thoughts

Now that we have discussed what the arsenal looks like, the Detroit Tigers have a litany of pitchers. There are a bunch of pitches that help make up the Tigers' starters and bullpen, but for the purposes of this, there are six pitches. All five of these are pitches that are unique in their own regards.

With that being said... the final arsenal looks like...

1. Jason Foley - Sinker
2. Beau Brieske - 4-Seam Fastball
3. Reese Olson - Slider
4. Alex Lange - Curveball
5. Mason Englert - Changeup

While the Detroit Tigers have had a busy off-season early on, here's a nice change of pace from the usual off-season content. As the Tigers head into 2024, think about your favorite pitchers, starters, or relievers and which pitches stand out the most to you. It's always fun to key in on individual pitches in an arsenal, looking at movement profiles.

This article certainly is only possible with the tools that Baseball Savant places at its fans' disposal. There's a ton of data available on metrics for individual pitches in a pitcher's arsenal. There are plenty of things to think about this off-season, but if the hot stove is not your fancy, why not dive into some data and look at some of your favorite Tigers pitchers?
