Jobe got an invite to camp, only to be cut last week before getting the opportunity to work in a game. That chance came today, and he topped out at 101.8 mph while throwing 13 pitches to finish off 1-0 win. Jobe is expected to open the season in Double-A.

No surprises here as Jobe, who will make his spring debut on Tuesday against the Twins, was already told that he wasn’t going to make Detroit’s Opening Day roster. The 21-year-old top pitching prospect figures to reach the big leagues at some point this season, if he continues to excel in the upper minors.

Jobe is universally-regarded as one of the top handful of pitching prospects in baseball and will make his highly-anticipated spring debut early next week. The 21-year-old righty, who was outstanding in the Arizona Fall League a couple months ago, has already been told that he won’t make the Opening Day roster, but the expectation is that he could be ready to arrive in Detroit at some point this season.

It’s not a huge surprise since Jobe is just 21 years old and has one career appearance above High-A. However, he is also one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, so there was some thought that his outlook could change after a strong spring training. That, however, appears not to be the case. With the Tigers starting rotation filled with young pitchers, it may be hard for Jobe and Ty Madden, who was also told he won’t make the team, to breakthrough this season.
