Jackson Jobe, the third overall pick in the 2021 draft, made his MLB debut in a game against the Seattle Mariners, marking a significant milestone for the young pitcher. He gave up three runs over four innings, but the Detroit Tigers secured a 9-6 victory. Despite his mixed feelings about his performance, Jobe expressed relief at finally starting, having faced long delays due to previous weather conditions. His father, Brandt, reflected on the family's journey, highlighting their support through years of youth baseball.

Jobe's manager, A.J. Hinch, praised his strike zone discipline but acknowledged areas for improvement. The experience was enriched by family support in attendance, as they witnessed Jobe’s transition from high school stardom to a professional mound. With his debut behind him, the 22-year-old aims to build on this foundation and establish himself within the Tigers' rotation.
