Mark Bowman, of MLB.com, reports Detroit Tigers SP Justin Verlander threw seven scoreless innings while striking out three against the Atlanta Braves Friday, March 27. He reached 97 mph on the radar gun and looked like the dominant pitcher that he was in 2007.

Verlander continues to look unhittable

Source (fanball.com) (P - det) | 0 comments.

Justin Verlander, whom manager Jim Leyland named as Detroit's Opening Day starter earlier in the day, looked flawless against the Braves on Friday, giving up just two hits and one walk while failing to allow a run and striking out three in seven innings.

Our View: Verlander has been untouchable over his last three spring outings, surrendering a mere five hits in 18 innings. After looking like one of the game's most promising young pitchers in 2006 and 2007 before suffering a pretty significant setback last year, Verlander appears poised to bounce back in 2009. He's been falling outside of the top-30 pitchers, and sometimes even top-40, of some drafts this year, and has very real potential to regain his status as a top-10 or 15 hurler. It probably wouldn't be advisable to let him slip past the top-25 among starting pitchers.

It'll be the second straight Opening Day assignment for the 26-year-old Verlander, who faced the Royals at Comerica Park to open last season. It's also an acknowledgement of the adjustments Verlander has made this Spring Training after struggling to 17 losses last year. "He's really making an effort to make the steps to be as successful as he can be," Leyland said.
