Flukey’s Big Leap to Tigers | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers just drafted towering 66 pitcher Cameron Flukey in the first round, a fastball phenom who clocks 95 mph and boasts a solid curveball—plus a developing slider and changeup. Despite a rib injury that sidelined him for weeks and limited his late-April return, Flukey still turned heads as a standout sophomore, even reaching the College World Series. Scouts and even ace Tarik Skubal praised his stuff. Now, the real test begins: can he adapt to the Tigers’ system and find his footing? With fellow draft pick Kevin McGonigle already making noise, fans are buzzing about the potential for these two to team up in Detroit sooner than later.
