Tarik Skubal won the American League Cy Young award unanimously, becoming the fifth player in Tigers history to achieve this honor. He finished the season with an 18-4 record, a 2.39 ERA, and 228 strikeouts in 192 innings, leading the league in all three categories and securing the pitching Triple Crown. Celebrating his 28th birthday on the day of the announcement, Skubal's remarkable comeback from flexor tendon surgery in 2022 solidified his status as Detroit's ace. With two years of club control remaining, the Tigers are likely to consider a long-term contract extension for him as they aim to move forward from their rebuilding phase.
