Malloy is hitting .329 with a .424 OBP, five home runs, two steals and a 20:14 K:BB over his last 20 games for Triple-A Toledo. He had a bit of a slump from the middle of May until the middle of June, but Malloy has now had multiple red-hot stretches as well. Malloy started the year playing third base for the Mud Hens, but he has been playing the outfield corners over the past few weeks, clearing a path for Colt Keith at third base.... See More ...

Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: On fire at Triple-A
Malloy is hitting .391 with a .538 OBP and three home runs in 20 games for Triple-A Toledo. A bat-first masher, Malloy has split time this year between third base and designated hitter. He has more walks (20) than strikeouts (17) and while his .490 BABIP is a clear sign he is playing over his head, Malloy is undisputedly in complete control at the dish right now. The 23-year-old slugger ranks third in the International League with a 198 wRC+. Nick Maton (-0.2 fWAR) and Tyler Nevin (-0.3 fWAR) lead the Tigers in playing time at third base, so a big-league debut could come sooner than later for Malloy.... See More ... See Less -
Tigers' Justyn-Henry Malloy: Could contribute at 3B in 2023
Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris mentioned Monday that Malloy could play third base for the Tigers in 2023, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. "[Malloy is] not in the big leagues right now, but he's as close as you can possibly be (to) the big leagues," Harris said, "and he plays third base." Acquired in the deal that sent Joe Jimenez to Atlanta, Malloy impressed in the minors in 2022 with an .862 OPS, 17 homers and five steals over 478 plate appearances with High-A Rome, Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett. The 23-year-old will likely start the year in the minors -- Triple-A Toledo would seem to be the destination -- but he's a name to keep an eye on if/when Detroit gives him a chance to play over the summer....

Evan Woodbery@evanwoodbery2D agoKenta Maeda is the first Japanese player on the Tigers since Hideo Nomo. "If that inspires other Japanese players to want to come to Detroit and play here, that's great," Harris said. "But it's not the reason why we signed Kenta. We signed him because he's really talented."

Evan Woodbery@evanwoodbery2D agoThe Tigers not only made the Kenta Maeda deal official on Tuesday, they publicly confirmed his salary. To my knowledge, the Braves are the only MLB organization currently doing this. If this is a trend, it's a good one.
