Rising Star Reese Olson Takes the Main Stage in Tigers Opener.

Pitching prospect Reese Olson is set to make his MLB debut for the Detroit Tigers, who have been hit hard by injuries. Olson has been effective in the minor leagues, with a 33.1 strikeout rate and a 7.5 percent walk rate in 2022. While he has struggled with command and a home run-prone fastball, Olson has a good set of secondary pitches and has shown signs of improved command in recent starts. He will face a tough challenge against the powerful White Sox offense, but could surprise with a strong debut if he can mix his pitches and keep the ball in the park.
