About Matt Manning

Matt Manning is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, wearing jersey number 15 and bringing an imposing presence to the mound at 6'6" and 195 pounds. Born on January 28, 1998, in Sacramento, California, Manning bypassed the college route and was selected directly by Detroit, reflecting the organization's strong belief in his raw talent and ceiling as a professional pitcher. His tall frame allows him to generate exceptional downward angle on his pitches, making him a difficult matchup for opposing hitters. Manning has developed steadily within the Tigers system, working to refine his arsenal and establish himself as a reliable presence in Detroit's starting rotation. As one of the younger arms in the organization, he continues to represent an important part of the Tigers' long-term rebuilding vision and future pitching plans.
