Remember when I was talking about Colt Keith and him not swinging and missing at any sliders? In the 21 sliders he's seen in AAA through Sunday, he's swung and missed at just 1...
Colt does not miss sliders.

New #Tigers 1B Coach Kyle Hudson has a pretty strong track record for developing high end defensive OF & baserunning teams
Charting efficiency w/ CLE (20-22) & BOS (23-25) both during/post his time & the Tigers numbers in both phases. Expect DET to be more base aggressive in 27
2025 he averaged 95.1 MPH with the 4S, reached 97.8. Threw his slider the most, 40% of the time, which had a 41.7% Whiff% on 72 swings. TJS isn't nearly as scary as it once was. Interesting to see how he returns!

And lastly, I have some big shoes to fill as I will be taking over for @Kieran_Steckley on @TigerTerritory_. Our first episode went out this morning on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.
The entire fanbase is desperate for a RHH. So naturally the first player acquired is a LHH.
BB% in the minors are good. Almost 13% in 772 AAA PA. Only 29.4% HardHit% though. Underlying hitting numbers remind me of Max Burt's Toledo stint.
