Tarik Skubal (Detroit Tigers) achieved the triple crown.

In the 2024 Major League Baseball regular season, which ended on the 30th (Korea time), Scubal won 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA and struck out 228 to reach the top of the American League (AL) in all three categories.

Skubal achieved the triple crown in the AL for the first time in four years, following Cleveland’s Shane Bieber in 2020, a shortened season due to COVID-19. In terms of 162 games, Justin Verlander was last seen in 2011.

Scubal made his big league debut in 2020 after being drafted by Detroit with the 255th overall pick in the ninth round of the 2018 draft. Scubal, who has been a full-time starter since 2021, has shown promise with an 8-12 record and 4.34 ERA.

However, he was injured with left arm fatigue syndrome in August 2022, and returned to action in July last year after nearly a year of rehabilitation. Unexpectedly, Scuval returned to action and established himself as Detroit’s irreplaceable ace.

And he has been at the center of Detroit’s rebound this season. Skubal has won six of his last nine games and posted a 1.94 ERA, making it his team’s biggest contribution to the postseason in a decade.

Detroit, which ranked fourth in the district with a winning percentage below 500 in the first half of the season, has posted 31 wins and 13 losses since April 12, ranking first overall in the same period. Detroit, which advanced to the postseason for the first time in 10 years, will face Houston, the winner of the Western Division, in the wild card series starting from October 2.

Scuval, who won his last appearance of the season on the 25th, is expected to start after getting enough rest.
