Max Anderson's Big League Debut | Detroit Tigers News

Max Anderson, the Tigers’ 11th-ranked prospect and a triple-A home run machine, is finally getting his shot in the majors after tearing up Toledo with 14 homers and a stellar OPS. While his bat is seen as a major offensive upgrade—especially for pinch-hitting—he’s got defensive questions at third base and hits mostly grounders, which could lead to more strikeouts against elite pitching. With a crowded infield featuring Gleyber Torres and Hao-Yu Lee, Anderson’s path to playing time is tough, but his aggressive approach and solid fielding at second make him a valuable platoon piece. The Tigers are betting his bat can carry him through the challenges of the big leagues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
