Andrew Sears to be promoted from Triple-A Toledo, per report

Detroit Tigers prospect Andrew Sears has been promoted from Triple-A Toledo to join the team in Kansas City, according to a report by X account Dr. Degenerate. The 23-year-old left-handed pitcher, who was drafted by the Tigers in the 10th round of the 2023 draft, made his full season pro debut in 2024 at the Low-A Lakeland level.

After overcoming control issues, Sears continued to show promise in the subsequent levels, culminating in a strong performance in two Triple-A appearances for the Toledo Mud Hens. With a 2.57 ERA/3.44 FIP combination and 41.2% strikeout rate in those outings, Sears appears to be on track to become a valuable asset for the Tigers' bullpen.

His unique pitching style, characterized by deception, movement, and a high whiff rate on pitches like the sinker and slider, makes him a formidable opponent for hitters.
