Tanner Bibee has solidified his role as the ace of the Cleveland Guardians, particularly in the absence of Shane Bieber. The 25-year-old finished the previous season with a commendable 3.47 ERA and a WHIP of 1.12, showcasing strong potential. However, he is focused on improving his fastball, which he acknowledges was less effective last season.

In a recent interview, Bibee expressed his desire to enhance the ride on his four-seam fastball to make it a more respected pitch among hitters. His other pitches, including an elite cutter, showed promise, but improving fastball command could catalyze his breakout year and possibly an All-Star selection.
