Tyler David Owens (born January 9, 2001) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Detroit Tigers organization. He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut in 2025.

Professional career

[edit]

Atlanta Braves

[edit]

Owens drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 13th round, with the 397th overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[1] He split his first professional season between the rookie–level Gulf Coast League Braves and rookie–level Danville Braves. Owens did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Owens returned to action in 2021 with the Single–A Augusta GreenJackets, struggling to a 7.07 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 6 games (4 starts). He returned to Augusta in 2022, logging a 5–3 record and 5.20 ERA with 67 strikeouts and 5 saves across 32 appearances.[3] Owens spent 2023 with the High–A Rome Braves and Double–A Mississippi Braves, accumulating an 0–6 record and 3.03 ERA with 67 strikeouts over 15 total games (8 starts).[4]

Texas Rangers

[edit]

On January 26, 2024, Owens was traded to the Texas Rangers in exchange for J. P. Martínez.[5] In 26 relief outings for the Double–A Frisco RoughRiders, he compiled a 2.80 ERA with 35 strikeouts and 8 saves over 38+1⁄3 innings pitched.

Detroit Tigers

[edit]

On July 28, 2024, Owens and Liam Hicks were traded to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Carson Kelly.[6] He made 13 relief outings for the Double–A Erie SeaWolves, compiling a 1–3 record and 3.31 ERA with 20 strikeouts and 2 saves across 16+1⁄3 innings pitched. Following the season, the Tigers added Owens to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[7]

Owens was optioned to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens to begin the 2025 season.[8] On May 1, 2025, Owens was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[9] In three appearances for Detroit, he recorded a 3.00 ERA with one strikeout over three innings of work. On July 30, Owens was designated for assignment following the acquisition of Rafael Montero.[10] The Tigers released Owens after he cleared waivers on August 1.[11] On August 5, Owens re-signed with Detroit on a minor league contract.[12]
