Justin Verlander is a pitcher who plays for the Detroit Tigers. We now decode his profile.

Justin Verlander used to be the most dominant ace on the team. That was until Max Sherzer had an amazing Cy Young Award season in 2013 where he went 21-3. Justin Verlander has more hardware then Sherzer does. In 2011, Justin Verlander had an unbelievable season which earned him the Cy Young Award and the AL’s MVP award. He would be the only pitcher to do that since the time of Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax. That would stand until Clayton Kershaw got the MVP honors in 2014. In 2011, Verlander went 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA and struck out 250 batters. Verlander has also led the league in wins and strikeouts multiple times.

Justin also has some other great feats up his sleeve. Justin pitched two no-hitters in the past. On a good day, any pitcher would be able to do that. But to get two is really hard. In his young days, Verlander used to be one of some great pitchers to reach 100 mph on the gun. That helped him earn the 2006 Rookie of the Year Award. Also, the year that Verlander won the MVP, he also won something else. He accomplished the pitching Triple Crown. A pitching Triple Crown is where you lead the league in wins, strikeouts, and have the lowest ERA.
