Scouting Report

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Slider: 70 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 50 | Overall: 60

One of the best and most advanced high school pitching prospects in recent years, Dylan Bundy went fourth overall as an Oklahoma prepster in 2011 and reached the Majors 15 months later. Fast forward a decade and the Sooner State has another high school arm whom some scouts say is even better in Jobe. He has one of the quickest arms and the best slider in the Draft, and his other pitches have improved this spring. He won Gatorade's state high school player of the year award after leading Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City) to the Oklahoma 4-A championship and going 9-0 with a 0.13 ERA and 122/5 K/BB ratio in 51 2/3 innings. 

Jobe showcases a wipeout slider that sits in the low 80s with elite spin rates above 3,000 rpm, depth and the ability to locate it where he wants. He pitches at 92-94 mph and tops out at 96 with his four-seam fastball, which also features high spin rates and riding action. He has upgraded his low-80s changeup with tumble and will use it against lefties and righties -- some evaluators say it's almost as good as his slider -- and he can give hitters another look with an upper-70s curveball with nice shape. 

Jobe repeats his easy delivery and provides plenty of strikes, and his athleticism and efficiency should allow him to remain in the rotation for the long term. He's clearly a pitcher, though he also offers upside as a strong-armed shortstop with bat speed and power potential. He projects as an average hitter with similar speed and might play both ways if he attends college at Mississippi, where he'd be Draft-eligible as a sophomore in 2023.

The Tigers went against traditional thinking that argues against taking a high-school right-handed pitcher early when it selected Jobe third overall in 2021. There have been ebbs and flows since, in part due to injuries -- lumbar spine inflammation in 2023, a left hamstring strain in '24 -- but the Oklahoma native has been a massive developmental success. He set a career high with 91 2/3 innings last summer across three Minor League levels and debuted in the Majors on Sept. 25 before making a pair of postseason appearances out of the Tigers bullpen.

The 6-foot-2 righty grabbed headlines when he touched 101.8 mph in a Spring Training game on March 12 -- the highest velocity recorded by Statcast during 2024 Spring Training -- and while he never quite got there again the rest of the year, his four-seamer remained a stellar pitch, typically sitting 95-97 mph with strong rise and run metrics. He can still crank it up to 99-100 mph as he did during the postseason. Searching for a different look, Jobe added a 95-97 mph sinker with 16-17 inches of armside run this spring. He also swapped his high-spin, 81-84 mph slider for a high-spin, 82-84 mph curveball with more vertical drop because he noted top-level hitters could handle the sweep of the slider. His 88-91 mph cutter (which he treats like a more traditional slider) still acts like a bridge pitch, and his mid-80s changeup, which jumped with a move to a split-like grip in '23, runs enough armside with lots of separation from the heaters to make it another plus offering.

The right-hander saw his walk rate creep up to 12 percent in the Minors last season while he worked too closely to the margins, and Jobe has vowed to work more in the zone in ’25 while letting his dominant stuff do the work. His limited Minor League workloads may be the only worrisome dings on his profile, and he might not erase those until he’s already near the top of the Detroit rotation alongside Tarik Skubal.

Detroit bucked recent Draft trends when it selected Jobe third overall in 2021 and signed him for $6.9 million. The Oklahoma native was expected to need time to develop, and that has indeed been the case. He went through an uneven first full season in 2022 and missed out on much of the first half of 2023 with lumbar spine inflammation. Following his return in mid-June, he was as dominant as ever with a 2.81 ERA and an astonishing 84/6 K/BB ratio over 64 innings across four levels, finishing at Double-A Erie. Jobe also made up for the lost time with four impressive starts in the Arizona Fall League.

After throwing more of a dead-zone fastball in high school, the 6-foot-2 right-hander has added more ride to the heater, and he aims for 18 inches of induced vertical break on the 94-97 mph pitch. As if that wasn’t dangerous enough, his 82-85 mph slider remains his best offering, with spin rates regularly above 3,000 rpm and sweeping horizontal movement of 10-17 inches. He added an 88-92 mph cutter for 2023 that gave him a tighter, more controllable look, and his mid-80s changeup improved with more killed spin, making him a tough at-bat for lefties too.

Jobe walked only 2.3 percent of his batters faced during the regular season last summer but that number climbed to 7.5 in the shorter AFL sample. Even with all the repertoire tinkering, his control gains have solidified his standing as one of the best prospect arms in the game. The next goal will be staying on the mound for 100+ innings in a season, at which point Jobe might be already knocking on Detroit’s door.

The Tigers have held four top five Draft picks since 2018, and they used their latest on the only prep pitcher of the group in Jobe -- the third overall selection in 2021. The '21 Gatorade Oklahoma High School Player of the Year was the rawest of that high-pick group, and that showed last year at Single-A Lakeland. Jobe posted a 4.52 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 61 2/3 innings in what is typically a pitcher-friendly Florida State League but flashed his potential by also fanning 26.3 percent of his batters faced. He finished out the year with three High-A starts. Jobe suffered lumbar spine inflammation in Spring Training but returned to the mound in mid-June and has looked his typical dominant self since.

On a stuff level, you can still see what makes Jobe such a promising young righty. The 6-foot-2 right-hander has sat 95-97 mph in shorter stints since his return this year, and that's even up a few ticks from where it was in the FSL a year ago. His plus-plus slider remains his bread-and-butter with low-80s velo, consistent 3,000-plus rpm of spin and plenty of sweeping depth. 

A low-80s changeup gives him another potential above-average pitch with sinking action, and he's added a low-90s cutter that plays tighter off the slider. With an athletic delivery, Jobe shouldn’t have control issues moving forward. He needs experience to learn how to best mix his arsenal and time to prove that the back issue is behind him. If it comes together, he has the tools to be a No. 2/3 starter.

Detroit has sported top-five picks in each of the last four Drafts and has gone for high-ceiling types with each one. Jobe very much falls in line with Casey Mize, Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson in that group. The 2021 Gatorade Oklahoma High School Player of the Year was ranked as MLB Pipeline’s top prep pitching prospect (No. 7 overall) last year after going 9-0 with a 0.13 ERA and 122/5 K/BB ratio in 51 2/3 innings and helping Heritage Hall capture a state 4-A title. Detroit went above his pre-Draft ranking to take Jobe at No. 3 overall and gave him a $6.9 million signing bonus, the second-highest of the 2021 Draft.

The slider is easily Jobe’s premium pitch. The offering comes in the low 80s and sports elite spin rates above 3,000 rpm. As if that wasn’t enough, the right-hander can spot the breaking pitch well, making it even tougher. He currently sits at 92-94 mph most days with the four-seam heater, and there have been occasions where he’s thrown more in the mid-90s. A low-80s changeup with plenty of dropping action gives him a third quality pitch -- and one that can be used against batters on both sides of the plate -- while his upper-70s curve provides another look, even if it’s only used to set up the other pitches.

Jobe’s delivery is repeatable and athletic, and throwing strikes shouldn’t be much of a concern on the pro side. There may be some baby steps along the way, but the building blocks are evident in what could make Jobe a future No. 2 starter in Detroit.

One of the best and most advanced high school pitching prospects in recent years, Dylan Bundy went fourth overall as an Oklahoma prepster in 2011 and reached the Majors 15 months later. Fast forward a decade, and the Sooner State produced another high school arm whom some scouts said is even better in Jobe.

Detroit was so enthused about Jobe’s ceiling that it took him third overall in July and signed him for $6.9 million, the second-highest bonus of this year’s Draft.

Jobe showcases a wipeout slider that sits in the low 80s with elite spin rates above 3,000 rpm, depth and the ability to locate it where he wants. He pitches at 92-94 mph and tops out at 96 with his four-seam fastball, which also features high spin rates and riding action. He has upgraded his low-80s changeup with tumble and will use it against lefties and righties -- some evaluators say it's almost as good as his slider -- and he can give hitters another look with an upper-70s curveball with nice shape. 

Jobe repeats his easy delivery and provides plenty of strikes, and his athleticism and efficiency should allow him to remain in the rotation for the long term. The Tigers’ farm system once revolved around high-end pitchers like Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matt Manning, and even after all three have graduated to the Majors, Jobe is very much in position to continue their tradition in the pipeline.
