Carson Rucker launches a game-tying solo homer to left in his first spring plate appearance.
Trei Cruz with a 2-out single up the middle to score Thayron Liranzo (BB) and tie the game for Detroit.
Brett Callahan launches a homer to dead center in his first plate appearance of the spring. Left his bat at 107.5 MPH and went an estimated 405 feet.
Casey Mize gave up a double, 2 walks and a HBP in 2 innings, but kept Jays scoreless with a pair of double plays. 35 pitches, 18 strikes, including 5 swing-and-misses.
Eduardo Valencia fights off an elevated changeup for his first knock of the spring.
Nice return to action for Ty Madden. Threw six different pitches in a 1-2-3 frame against Kyle Schwarber, JT Realmuto, and Bryce Harper. Four whiffs with the cutter 👀
It’s the ninth inning of a Grapefruit League game, but with two outs and the tying run on 3B, it’s a big moment for Max Clark.
“Oh, I feel adrenaline regardless. It's a big spot. I want the moment. I mean, you guys can tell that. So it was nice to go out there and complete the job.”

Ben Malgeri, Detroit Tigers prospect (#214 Overall, #7 DET). Career probabilities: 16% Contributor, 16% Regular, 2% Star. Relative Stats (standard deviations from league average, compared to Alfredo Silverio 2011): Dev Spd -0.42, Disc -0.40, Avoid K +0.12, Contact +0.97, Gap Pwr +1.91 (strongest skill), HR Pwr +0.24, Lift +0.34. Career Outcome Probabilities chart shows horizontal bars for achieving different Prime WAR per season levels (0-5 WAR), with highest probability at Contributor level (0-1 WAR, ~50%), declining through Regular (~30% at 1-2 WAR) and Star levels (minimal at 3+ WAR). Green confidence meter shown at bottom.
Thanks again to @tigersmlreport.bsky.social for having us on their pod! Malgeri is the prototypical Oyster sleeper. Totally off the radar for most, his solid hitting profile and positional upside give him an outside chance at a utility role. Watch out for his sneaky gap power!

Trei Cruz grew up the son of a Gold Glove outfielder and grandson of an Astros Hall of Famer. But the do-everything Tigers prospect has forged his own path towards potentially becoming a third-generation Major Leaguer next season. That path hasn't been easy.
