We’ve all been captivated by the story of Akil Baddoo this spring. A solid but unassuming Minnesota Twins prospect who blew out his elbow back in 2019, the Tigers picked him up in the Rule 5 draft hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. So far, so good. Baddoo hadn’t played an official game above
Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo crushed a home run Sunday at Comerica Park against the Cleveland Indians on the first pitch in his first MLB at-bat.
