Lange needed just 17 pitches to get through a clean inning, striking out one and allowing one hit to secure the win for Detroit. The right-hander has been a reliable option out of the bullpen all season, posting a 1.27 ERA and 11.8 K/9 over 21 games.

He has been absolute nails this year. Shame he plays for one of the worst organizations in baseball. If he played for the Yankees or Dodgers he’d be a household name

Tigers don’t score many runs. He hopefully plays himself to another team.

Didn't he have kind of a unique story where he was an illegitimate child of a purported professional baseball player and the mother put him up for adoption and told his parents to "foster his baseball talents" due to his biological dad?

And here we are. Genetics is crazy.

eta. I wonder who his real dad is

As a Guardians fan, I would take him over Clase in a heartbeat considering the results so far this year. It baffles me how much Clase has regressed this year and is only 25 and seemingly healthy. Lange has way better numbers this year, albeit a small sample size.
Plus it would be lagniappe to have one of my favorite former LSU pitchers on my MLB team. Back when we were the Indians (stupid woke name change btw) and dominating the 90s (everything except winning a World Series smh), we had both Joey (Albert) Belle and Paul Byrd

As long as he doesn't get traded before the break, he'll be on the All-Star team.

If we could have only gotten to a game 3 against Florida.

Those youtube videos showing the movement on his 2-seam fastball are ridiculous. There honestly no way to hit that pitch with that much movement.

Huge fan of Alex and great to hear he's having success. He was an alpha competitor here.

His win vs Oregon St in '17 was one of my favorites. He put a dent in their psyche (and Hess and Gilbert finished 'em off).

IMO, he was the best freshman pitcher we've had.
