Career

Lange was adopted when he was a baby.[1] He attended Lee's Summit West High School in Lee's Summit, Missouri and maintained a 4.0 weighted GPA. As a senior, Lange was named the Missouri Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year (2014). He was scouted by many NCAA Division I colleges, but chose to attend Louisiana State University (LSU).[2]
As a college freshman in 2015, Lange was a consensus All-American . He was also named the National Freshman Pitcher of the Year by Louisville Slugger and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association [3] [4] and helped lead LSU to the College World Series .[5] [6] LSU returned to the College World Series in 2017 , and facing top-ranked Oregon State in his first College World Series start, Lange pitched seven innings and allowed only two hits to lead LSU to victory.[7]
Chicago Cubs
[ edit ]
The Chicago Cubs selected Lange with the 30th pick in the first round of the 2017 MLB Draft .[8] He signed with the Cubs and was assigned to the Eugene Emeralds of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League , where he posted an 0–1 win–loss record with a 4.82 earned run average (ERA) in 9 + 1 ⁄3 innings pitched.[9] MLB.com ranked Lange as Chicago's fifth best prospect going into the 2018 season.[10] He spent the 2018 season with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League , going 6–8 with a 3.74 ERA in 23 starts.[11] Lange began 2019 back with Myrtle Beach.[12]

On July 31, 2019, the Cubs traded Lange and Paul Richan to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Nick Castellanos .[13] He was assigned to the Erie SeaWolves . Over 27 games (18 starts) between Myrtle Beach and Erie, he went 5–13 with a 5.45 ERA, striking out 94 batters over 102+ 1 ⁄3 innings. He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Mesa Solar Sox following the season.[14] Lange did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic .[15] On November 20, 2020, the Tigers added Lange to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft .[16]
On April 10, 2021, Lange was promoted to the majors for the first time and made his Major League debut that day, throwing a scoreless inning.[17] On September 20, 2021, Lange recorded his first career save with a perfect 1–2–3 ninth inning against the Chicago White Sox .[18] He earned his first major league win on September 30 with 1 + 1 ⁄3 innings of scoreless relief against the Minnesota Twins.[19] Overall, Lange made 36 appearances for the 2021 Tigers, posting a 1–3 record and 4.04 ERA, while striking out 39 batters in 35 + 2 ⁄3 innings.
In 2022, Lange primarily filled a middle relief and setup role. He led the Tigers with 71 appearances, posting a 7–4 record and a 3.69 ERA, with 82 strikeouts in 63 + 1 ⁄3 innings.
On July 8, 2023, Lange pitched the last inning of a combined no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays .[20] While Tigers manager A. J. Hinch resisted naming a full-time closer for the 2023 season, Lange made the most appearances for the team in save situations. On the season, he saved 26 games in 32 opportunities. He posted a 7–5 record and a 3.68 ERA, while striking out 79 batters in 66 innings.
Lange made 21 appearances for Detroit in 2024, compiling an 0–3 record and 4.34 ERA with 21 strikeouts across 18 + 2 ⁄3 innings pitched. On June 18, 2024, it was announced that Lange would undergo surgery to repair an avulsion in his right lat .[21]
