Tigers Call Up Firearm Lefty Sears | MLB News

Detroit Tigers are set to debut 23-year-old lefty Andrew Sears this Sunday, a fiery rookie nicknamed “psycho” for his intensity on the mound. Standing at 6’3”, he’s packing heat with a 93-95 mph fastball and a nasty sinker/slider combo from a low arm angle. Despite a late start due to an elbow issue, Sears dominated in Double-A and dazzled in Triple-A with nearly 10 scoreless innings and tons of strikeouts. Manager AJ Hinch says his stuff is ready for MLB, and while his role—rotation or long relief—is still up in the air, the team may move Keider Montero to the bullpen to make room. Sears stayed quiet yesterday as he acclimated, but don’t expect that fire to stay hidden for long.
