His previous team, the Detroit Tigers, won four straight AL Central Division Championships and two American League Pennants when he was playing for them. Verlander has been a multiple-time MLB All-Star and has won two Cy Young Awards.

To join the NY Mets, Justin agreed to a two-year contract in December 2022.

Childhood

Justin Verlander was born on February 20, 1983, in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia to Kathy and Theodore. His younger sibling is named Ben. When he was younger, Verlander showed off his prowess by throwing an 84 mph fastball at the Richmond Baseball Academy. He left Goochland High School and later enrolled at Old Dominion University.

He pitched for the Old Dominion baseball team for three seasons. With 139 strikeouts in a single season in 2003, Verlander established a school record. The next year, he broke it with 151 strikeouts. Verlander held the Old Dominion University record for the most strikeouts at the end of his undergraduate career.

While still a student, Verlander participated in the 2003 Pan American Games as a member of the USA national baseball team. The group won the silver medal, and Verlander was chosen All-CAA.

After being chosen by the Detroit Tigers in the MLB draft, he started his professional baseball career in 2005. Verlander participated in games for the Erie SeaWolves and the Lakeland Flying Tigers, two of the team’s minor league affiliates.

Career

Verlander participated in his first full MLB season in 2006 while playing for the Detroit Tigers. After retiring 124 batters in 186 innings this past season, he was chosen as the American League’s Rookie of the Year.

Verlander and the Tigers were eliminated in the World Series in five games by the Cardinals. The following year, Verlander had a 3.66 ERA and 183 strikeouts, continuing his run of good fortune.

Verlander had a victory over the White Sox in the spring of 2011 and had thrown out a total of 1,000 batters. He promptly defeated the Blue Jays for the second time in his career with a no-hitter. Verlander finished the year as the AL’s winningest pitcher in terms of wins, strikeouts, and ERA. He also captured the coveted Pitching Triple Crown.

Along with winning the AL Cy Young Award unanimously, he also received the AL MVP Award. When the Tigers faced the San Francisco Giants in the World Series in 2012, Verlander assisted in their progression to the ALCS. The Giants ultimately won the Series in a sweep.

Verlander finished second to Rays pitcher David Price in the tight AL Cy Young race. Verlander became the highest-paid pitcher in MLB history when the Tigers signed him to a seven-year, $180 million deal just before the 2013 campaign.

He reached 1,500 strikeouts for his career during the next season, helping the Tigers reach the ALCS once more. After having surgery on his core muscles early in 2014, Verlander struggled to perform for the first few months of the season.

For the first time since 2008, he was not chosen for the AL All-Star team, and his 159 strikeouts were his fewest since 2006. Verlander had to begin the subsequent season on the disabled list because of a triceps problem.

Then, before being returned to the Tigers in June, he was handed a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. Following a poor 2015 season, Verlander came back in 2016 to record his 2,000th career strikeout.

He finished the year with 254 strikeouts, which put him in first place in the AL for the fourth time in his career. Second place in the AL went to Verlander. Rick Porcello narrowly prevails against Cy Young in the vote this time.

On the Opening Day of his final season with the Tigers in 2017, Verlander tied a franchise record by striking out 10 batters. His first career RBI was also recorded by him. In 2017, the Houston Astros traded for Verlander, who they later acquired.

All five of his regular-season starts were victories, and he recorded 219 strikeouts in his outstanding rookie campaign. In order to advance to the ALCS and win against the Yankees to earn a spot in the World Series for a second time, Verlander and the Astros did.

The Astros defeated the Dodgers in seven games to win the World Series, and Verlander earned his first championship. The year after, he maintained his success, pitching a complete game shutout against the Angels and retiring 2,500 batters in his career.

He helped the Astros get back to the ALCS and finished the 2018 season with a career-high 290 strikeouts. Additionally, he received another second-place finish in the Cy Young voting. For the eighth time, Verlander was picked for the AL All-Star team in 2019.

Later, at the start of the regular season, he accomplished a noteworthy achievement by becoming just the 18th MLB pitcher to amass 3,000 career strikeouts; further history was set when he finished the season with a career-high 300 strikeouts.

The Astros kept playing until they reached the World Series, where the Washington Nationals defeated them. Verlander won the Cy Young Award again the following year.

Verlander missed a large portion of the COVID-delayed 2020 season owing to forearm and groin issues. In order to rehabilitate from Tommy John’s surgery, he was put on the injured list the following season.
