Tyler Skaggs’ non-profit celebrates the Dodgers’ World Series victory with limited-edition merchandise, and Jack Flaherty steals the show.

Jack Flaherty, a right-handed pitcher known for his standout fashion sense and passion for design, recently collaborated with Grand Central Market LA and artist C.W. Moss to launch limited-edition merchandise celebrating the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2024 World Series victory. This collaboration also supports the Tyler Skaggs Foundation, which honors the memory of former MLB pitcher Tyler Skaggs by promoting youth athletic programs and leadership development.

Flaherty showcased the exclusive merchandise—a sustainable and locally made hoodie and t-shirt—on Instagram, encouraging fans to shop the collection in person or online. This initiative highlights Flaherty’s commitment to combining his creative interests with meaningful philanthropic efforts.

Jack Flaherty’s 2024 Season Highlights

Flaherty began the 2024 MLB season with the Detroit Tigers, signing a one-year, $14 million contract. In 18 starts, he posted a solid 7-5 record with a 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts. Midseason, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor-league prospects, marking a pivotal move for both Flaherty and the Dodgers.

With the Dodgers, Flaherty went 6-2 with a 3.58 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 10 starts. Despite inconsistent postseason performances, Flaherty contributed key moments during the Dodgers’ championship run:

  • NLDS Game 2 vs. Padres: Took the loss, allowing four runs in 5.1 innings.
  • NLCS Game 1 vs. Mets: Delivered a dominant seven scoreless innings in a shutout win.
  • World Series Game 1 vs. Yankees: Secured the win, giving up just two runs in 5.1 innings.
  • World Series Game 5: Struggled but benefited from the Dodgers’ potent offense, helping clinch the team’s eighth franchise title.

Future Prospects

Flaherty, now a free agent, enters the offseason with solid regular-season credentials and a championship ring to his name. His ability to perform under pressure, combined with his unique off-field ventures, makes him an intriguing option for teams looking to bolster their rotation and bring a multifaceted personality to their clubhouse.
