Detroit – The Tigers shuffled the deck at the minor-league catcher position Friday.

Playoff baseball this season has been crammed with electricity; between sell-out crowds and historic comebacks, there are reasons to be optimistic about the game’s state despite the cynical nature of some who declare the sport on life support.

For many fans, the most memorable part of the 2022 season can be boiled down to a single number: 62. While the statistics spotlighted in this story won’t resonate anywhere close to as historic as Aaron Judge’s American League home run record, they are a preview of coming attractions.

Colt Keith has this habit. He hits baseballs. Hard. He does it even after a four-month interlude between at-bats, in real games. Notice that on June 9, in what was his last act in 2022 as a blue-chip infielder at West Michigan, Keith was batting .301, with a heavy .914 OPS. He singled in his
