BREAKING: Tigers Land Another Left-handed Pitcher
Horn, 26, is an Auburn University product who was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft. After a brief stint with the White Sox, he was traded to the Red Sox in April for cash considerations.
While with the Red Sox organization, Horn had a strong performance at Triple-A Worcester, posting a 2.15 ERA in 29 innings and striking out 35 batters. However, his major league performance in 2024 was uneven. Over 18 innings with the Red Sox, Horn struggled with control, walking 10 batters and recording just 13 strikeouts.
The Tigers are hopeful that Horn can improve his command and contribute to their bullpen, adding valuable depth to a pitching staff that is continuing to evolve as they look ahead to the 2025 season.
