Detroit Tigers’ Unconventional Strategy Leaves Fans Wondering: What’s Their Secret to Success?
Instead, Baez is close to locking down the AL Comeback Player of the Year award. He’s batting .319 with an .870 OPS – his OPS was .881 when he finished second in the 2018 NL MVP race while playing for the Chicago Cubs – and has been a revelation in center field, a position he hadn’t previously played in the major leagues. His WAR after the massive game Tuesday night is 1.3 – just a stunning turnaround. The hip surgery he underwent last September has helped him immensely.
Torkelson was another Tiger who basically played himself out of a spot with a poor 2024 season. The former No. 1 overall pick (2020) hit another home run in the win over the Red Sox Tuesday night, his 11th in only 43 games. Last year, he hit 10 in 92 games, and he struggled so badly that Detroit sent him to Triple-A for more than two months. It was quite the downfall for a slugger who popped 31 homers in 2023.
