Is Michael Pineda Good?

For Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Pineda tossed three scoreless innings.



AJ Hinch, Tigers manager, stated, “It was quick and pretty efficient.”

In Toledo on Tuesday, the 33-year-old will pitch four innings. Before joining the Tigers, he is set to play two games with the Mud Hens. Tyler Alexander, a left-handed reliever, has taken over as the fifth starter as Pineda continues to develop



Pineda pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out one batter. He struck out 22 batters out of 33 batters faced. In March, he signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Tigers.

Because he had to wait for his work visa, he didn’t pitch in spring training games.

“He threw the ball well in Triple-A,” Hinch said. “We were only hoping for three ups from him. He possessed it and was a striker.

When you throw strikes and get outs on those types of assignments, you only receive 30 pitches or more.

We had hoped he would delve a little deeper into the conditioning aspect, but with such effective outs, no one complains.”

Last season, Pineda pitched for the Minnesota Twins and had a 3.62 ERA in 22 games, walking 21 batters and striking out 88.

He pitched for the Seattle Mariners in 2011, the New York Yankees from 2014 to 2017, and the Minnesota Twins from 2017 to the present (2019-21).
