Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers selected Englert in the fourth round, with the 119th overall selection, of the 2018 MLB draft. [5] [6] He signed with Texas for an over-slot $1 million signing bonus. [7] After signing, Englert did not appear in an official game with a Rangers affiliate in the 2018 season. Instead, he took part in a new program put in place by Texas for their newly drafted high school pitchers. The "de-load" program as the organization called it, emphasized building a foundation mentally and physically while resting the pitchers' bodies from a strenuous senior season and pre-draft showcase circuit. The players were put through a strength program and classroom work until the post-season fall instructional training started. [8]

Englert suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow and underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2019, causing him to miss the entire season. [9] He did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] Englert spent the 2021 season with the Down East Wood Ducks of the Low-A East, going 6–3 with a 4.25 ERA and 90 strikeouts over 80+2⁄3 innings. [11] Englert split the 2022 season between the Hickory Crawdads of the High-A South Atlantic League and the Frisco RoughRiders of the Double-A Texas League, [12] going a combined 8–6 with a 3.64 ERA and 136 strikeouts over 118+2⁄3 innings. [13] On August 12, 2022, Englert threw 7 innings of a combined no-hitter for Hickory. [14] [15]

Detroit Tigers

On December 7, 2022, Englert was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the Rule 5 draft. [16] On March 29, 2023, the Tigers announced that Englert had made the Opening Day roster. [17] In 31 outings in his rookie campaign, he logged a 4–3 record and 5.46 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 56.0 innings of work. Englert pitched out of the Tigers bullpen until July 24, when he went on the injured list with hip tightness. After a setback with his rehab, Englert remained on the injured list for the rest of the season. [18]

Englert was optioned to the Triple–A Toledo Mud Hens to begin the 2024 season. [19] Englert was called up on May 23, 2024. [20]
