Poulin made 54 appearances for the Single-A Asheville Tourists in 2019, posting a 3-3 record and 2.90 ERA with 67 strikeouts and 13 saves over 59 innings of work.[2]
Poulin did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He returned to action in 2021 with the High-A Spokane Indians and Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. In 44 appearances split between the two affiliates, Poulin compiled an aggregate 3–1 record and 3.63 ERA with 59 strikeouts and four saves across 44+2⁄3 innings pitched.[4]
In 2022, Poulin split the season between Hartford and the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. In 55 total appearances out of the bullpen, he logged a combined 8–1 record and 4.15 ERA with 79 strikeouts and six saves over 60+2⁄3 innings of work.[5] Poulin made 32 appearances for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes in 2023, registering a 3–3 record and 5.44 ERA with 39 strikeouts across 49+2⁄3 innings pitched.[6]
Detroit Tigers
[edit]On March 24, 2024, Poulin was traded to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for cash considerations.[7] He split the year between the Double-A Erie SeaWolves and Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, accumulating a combined 2–1 record and 2.10 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched across 45 games.
