A Detroit Tigers veteran is putting up extremely alarming numbers during spring training.
It’s said that spring training results don’t always matter, but what if, as the experienced Javy Baez of the Detroit Tigers, you’re currently 1-20 in the spring? And you’ve already had two terrible seasons in Detroit?

AJ Hinch’s team will probably continue to use him because he signed a six-year, $140 million contract, but these outcomes are quite concerning, particularly in light of the previous two years.
He’s hardly hit.wearing a Tigers outfit, posting a pitiful 230.273 percent of hits in base.
Overall, Baez is a seasoned veteran of ten years who has played for the New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, and Tigers. In 2014, he made his major league debut, and in 2016, he contributed to the Cubs’ World Series victory. Baez is a past NLCS MVP, a Gold Glover, and a two-time All-Star. Even though he has a Silver Slugger Award, Detroit hasn’t benefited from it.There are many reasons to be excited about the Tigers this season, aside from Baez’s situation. The addition of Jack Flaherty and Kenta Maeda, along with the continued health of Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Matt Manning, have boosted the rotation.
In addition, young position players with potential like Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene seem poised to step up. This season in Detroit might be a lot of fun if all goes according to plan.
