Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch has effectively managed his pitching staff during the challenging second half of the 2024 season, relying heavily on ace Tarik Skubal and rookie Keider Montero due to injuries and trades.

Utilizing a strategy of 'pitching chaos' with openers and bullpen games, the Tigers found success despite the fatigue that set in during the postseason. The team has built a reputation for rehabilitating veteran pitchers, as seen with Eduardo Rodriguez and Jack Flaherty, attracting potential new talent.
