“One of the most highly touted pitching prospects of recent years, Rick was drafted in the first round by Detroit in 2007, led the Flordia State League with a 2.66 ERA in ’08, and made the rare jump from Single-A to the Motor City the next year.  The youngest player in the Majors when he debuted at just 20, Porcello made it known quickly that he is mature beyond his years.  He gave up just one run over seven innings in his second start (April 19 at Seattle) to earn his first Major League victory.  The right-hander captured all five of his starts in May — a first for a Tigers pitcher that youthful.”
