Johnny Kane visits the home of Casey Mize and his wife, Tali, to learn a little more about the young righthander’s life away from the field.
While we wait to hear who the Detroit Tigers All-Star Game representative, the real action during All-Star weekend is going to be over at the Futures Game. The Tigers top two position prospects, outfielder Riley Greene, and first baseman Spencer Torkelson, will be part of the action on July 11th at Coors Field. You can
The Erie SeaWolves are the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, and play at the beautifully updated UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. UPMC Park has been home to the Erie SeaWolves since 1995. The ballpark is more than just a great place to watch high-quality, professional baseball. The home of the SeaWolves is a great
Detroit Tigers plays of the month
Not every draft has an unquestionable top player among its entrants. The Tigers were lucky that Casey Mize separated himself from the pack in 2018, but there wasn’t quite as much consensus in 2020 when they took Spencer Torkelson in the top spot. Even on draft day there were still some who believed that Austin
Each year more and more folks seem to understand it’s not just the NFL, NBA, and NHL that offer draft-day drama. The MLB Draft has been late to the game, in the public’s consciousness anyway, but now that it has picked up audience and relevance, expect a free-wheeling, hip-shooting, let’s-take-a-stab first round that gets rolling
Toledo Mud Hens 4, Columbus Clippers 2 (box) Ricardo Pinto and Heath Fillmyer locked into a prolonged duel in this one, but the Hens eventually broke through late to win on Thursday night. Pinto tossed seven innings of scoreless ball with seven strikeouts, allowing just three hits and two walks. Meanwhile, Mr. Fillmyer got the
Since the beginning of June, Miguel Cabrera has (kind of) turned back the clock. He isn’t drawing a ton of walks. He still strikes out too much. And his power, for the most part, hasn’t shown up until recently: He cranked two home runs — Nos. 493 and 494 of his 19-year career — to help the
PEORIA, IL – The West Michigan Whitecaps pulled off their second sweep of a doubleheader in the past week with wins over the Peoria Chiefs by scores of 4-2 and 3-2 in front of 1,381 fans Thursday night at Dozer Park. Back on June 27, the Whitecaps completed a sweep of the Dayton Dragons with
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — The sons are coming out for this year’s All-Star Game in Denver. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joined his father as an All-Star and Fernando Tatis Jr. accomplished a feat his dad never achieved. Toronto’s first baseman and San Diego’s shortstop were among nine first-time All-Stars elected Thursday to start
Erie outlasted rain and the Reading Fightin Phils on Thursday night to win their second straight win. Josh Lester slugged a three-run home run, and John Valente went 2-for-3 with a run driven in to help secure the 5-3 win. The game was delayed for a surprise rain shower in the fourth inning, but Erie
TOLEDO, Ohio – Christin Stewart and Renato Núñez each tripled in the closing stages, while Ricardo Pinto tossed a season-high seven shutout innings as the Toledo Mud Hens held off the Columbus Clippers by a 4-2 count on Thursday at Fifth Third Field. Winners in four straight, the Mud Hens (28-22) have triumphed in seven
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — The major league batting average jumped to .246 in June amid a crackdown by the commissioner’s office on foreign substances utilized by pitchers, raising the season average to .239. The season average is the lowest through June since it was .233 in 1968, the Elias Sports Bureau
Thirty-two of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects will take the diamond in the year’s best prospect showcase. Following a one-year hiatus, the SiriusXM Futures Game returns on July 11 at Coors Field in Denver.

Detroit — When the Tigers were 36-45 at the midpoint of the 2017, it represented gross underachievement and led ultimately to the end of manager Brad Ausmus’ run, the trading away of stars Justin Verlander, J.D. Martinez, Ian Kinsler and Justin Upton and the first dark days of the teardown. They had the same record
In part 2 of a 3-part series looking at the players MLB Pipeline has identified at the top of its predraft rankings, we profile 3 high school shortstops who have wowed scouts across the country. It’s unclear if only 1, 2 or all 3 of these athletic infielders will be available at #3 overall, but
The Tigers found Hall of Famers Alan Trammell and Jack Morris in the MLB Draft. They found future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander there, too. The core of the team’s current young squad came out of Draft picks. They’ve also used top Draft picks on players whose names have been long forgotten. Here’s the full
Covering the entire game is tough. Heck, just covering the Detroit Tigers from top-to-bottom proves challenging at times. It is understandable why unicorns like Shohei Ohtani and Jacob deGrom get so much hype and dominate headlines. They deserve it.
Spencer Torkelson is heading to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on July 11. He’s the No. 3 prospect in the sport, according to MLBPipeline, and an integral part of the Tigers’ promising rebuild. Yet, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s Draft will need to enjoy a 13-year career — at least — to
