Keeping tabs on the Fort Ann pitcher as he moves up in the Detroit Tigers organization.

UPDATE 8/11: Mattison appeared in the 5th inning for the Toledo Mud Hens, and surrendered two runs in this 2/3rds innings of work which spanned the 5th into the 6th inning.  He struck out for the third out to end the Louisville rally.  However, his start to the 6th was filled with problems as he gave up back-to-back doubles to lead off the inning.  He would get the first out on a fly out to right field, before his afternoon was done as the Mud Hens opted for a strategic pitcher vs. batter match up.

UPDATE 7/31: Tyler Mattison yesterday was officially given the call up by the Detroit Tigers organization as he now is rostered with the Toldeo Mud Hens, the Triple A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.  Triple A is the highest level of Minor League Baseball, which gives offers potential of Tyler Mattison making it to the big leagues by the end of the season.

He made his debut on Wednesday, pitching to start the 6th inning for the Toledo Mud Hens against the St. Paul Saints.  Although he gave up two runs on two hits and one walk, including a double to Jose Miranda that brought home two runs to tie the game, he did also strike out two batters in his first ever appearance at the Triple A level.  He would be replaced by PJ Poulin to finish the inning.

Toledo would go on to score a run in the bottom of the 6th and would win 4-3.

Tyler Mattison continues his road back in the Minors. 

The Fort Ann product was recently returned to the Erie Seawolves, the AA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.  This was the level Mattison was playing ball in September 2023 before having to step away for the 2024 season for Tommy John surgery. 

He made his Minor League Baseball season debut on May 28th, first pitching for Lakeland of the Florida State League in single A.  After that debut, he was with the A+ affiliate, Western Michigan, as he continued on his rehab assignment.  And even though he got roughed up for 5 earned runs in a total of 2 innings pitched in his final two assignments with Western Michigan, Mattison was called up to Erie.

On Saturday, June 28th, Mattison made his season debut for the Erie Seawolves as he pitched an inning against Somerset, striking out one against giving up a hit.  On his second appearance with the Seawolves on July 1st, Mattison took the mound in the 8th inning.  But he walked three and gave up one hit, allowing two runs to score as Akron would pad their lead to 4.

For the season, Mattison has made 9 appearances with Erie, pitching over a 3 ERA.  For the season, Mattison now has appeared in 18 games among the 4 teams he has appeared with in the Detroit Tigers organization.  He has struck out at least one batter in every appearance this season except for his season debut with Lakeland on May 28th.
