Tarik Skubal is making a compelling case as the best pitcher in baseball, and the numbers behind his early-season performance only strengthen that argument. The Detroit Tigers ace has combined dominant results with elite underlying metrics, putting him firmly in the conversation among the game’s top arms. Through his first stretch of the season, Skubal has posted a 2.70 ERA across 34 innings, along with 45 strikeouts and just 6 walks.
