Sometimes it’s the smaller stories that slip under the radar and have the biggest and most long-lasting impact. Let’s cover some of those from the past week as they pertain to the Detroit Tigers.
 
Kevin McGonigle has been the best hitter in the Tigers lineup as a ROOKIE.
.322 AVG | 7 XBH | .920 OPS | 169 wRC+
All 19 of his hits this season which leads all rookies:
 
Good nugget courtesy of Tigers' Ben Fidelman: Last four Tigers' starters -- Flaherty, Montero, Mize, and Skubal -- have gone at least 5.2 IP and allowed one or fewer runs. Last time Tigers did that -- 2013.
 
The Tigers have 7 players with a wRC+ over 100 (min 35 PA). The only players with at least 35 PA that fall under 100 wRC+ are: Carpenter : 94 wRC+McKinstry: 57 wRC+.
 
Qualified Hitters with >.300 AVG, >.900 OPS, and more walks than strikeouts:
Yordan Alvarez
Nico Hoerner
Sal Stewart
Ryan O’Hearn
Jose Altuve
Kevin McGonigle
 
"I'm more happy that I was able to get the first one out of the way in front of this great city and these great fans." Kevin McGonigle walks the booth through the at-bat that led to his first career home run.

 
Gleyber Torres has put 40 balls into play this year:
Opposite Field: 20
Straightaway: 16
Pull: 4
Easy math there.
That’s a 10% pull rate. The lowest in the majors last year was Brice Turang at 26.8%
 
The Tigers have the second best Run Differential in the American League after playing 9.9% of the schedule.
Yankees +21
Tigers +10
Twins +8

In the NL, three clubs have a better RD:
ATL +46
LAD +35
Brew Crew +16
Cubs +10
 
Tigers hitters have reversed five strikeouts through successful ABS challenges, the most of any team so far this season. We also continue leading all teams in success rate from pitcher/catcher challenges (12 wins, 1 loss - 92%).
