Jordan Arthur Tata (TAY-ta) (born September 20, 1981, in Plano, Texas) is a starting pitcher in the Detroit Tigers organization. Tata made his major league debut, April 6, 2006 against the Texas Rangers in a 10-6 win. For college he attended Sam Houston State. He is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. Tata bats and throws right-handed.
While pitching for the Lakeland Tigers in 2005, Tata made the Florida State League All-Star team as a starting pitcher, and at the season's end he was named the league's Most Valuable Pitcher.[1]
Tata picked up his first big league win on July 30, 2007 while pitching in place of the injured Kenny Rogers. The Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics by a score of 5-2. Tata struck out 5, walked 2 and allowed 6 hits and 2 earned runs. Todd Jones gave Tata the customary shaving cream-pie to the face during a post game interview.[2] Jordan's second start at Comerica Park August 3rd resulted in a 3-1 loss. Tata gave up all three runs in 5 innings pitched.
