  "account": "Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Jackson Jobe delivered an impressive first major league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery more than 14 months ago. In his debut, Jobe struck out four batters and limited the San Francisco Giants to a single hit over five shutout innings, contributing to the Tigers' dominant 8-0 victory. The 24-year-old, who had made four rehab starts in the minors prior to this outing, expressed his excitement and satisfaction with his performance, stating, \"I had some good nerves... It’s a good feeling.\"\n\nBorn as the Tigers' first-round pick, third overall, in 2021, Jobe had not pitched in the majors since a start against the Giants on May 28, 2025. Saturday's outing showcased his improved skills, as he threw 71 pitches, 46 of them for strikes. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch praised the outing as \"almost a perfect\" and remarked on Jobe's electrifying stuff. Jobe himself felt stronger physically and mentally, citing mental sharpness and physical improvements as significant milestones from his rehabilitation period. Following the game, Jobe received a notable compliment from pitching coach Chris Fetter, who remarked that Jobe looked like \"the best he’s ever seen me.\"",
