Tarik Skubal Brews Up Locker Room Culture with New Espresso Machine

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, with teammate Casey Mize, has installed an espresso machine in his locker at Joker Marchant Stadium, viewing caffeine as a 'performance enhancer.' Inspired by Charlie Morton's previous clubhouse setup, Skubal incorporates iced Americanos into his pre-game routine, consuming his last coffee 1.5-2 hours before games, typically up to four shots of espresso. He admits to a 'trial and error' process in mastering the machine, aiming to perfect his brewing skills.
