Colt Keith 2024 Player Outlook: Is Opening Day A Reality?
11 months agoDetroit Tigers infield prospect Colt Keith was arguably the minor league's best player in the 2023 season. In his age-21 season, Keith made his presence felt right out of the gate, hitting .325 with 14 home runs, 18 doubles, two triples, and a .976 OPS across 59 games at Double-A Erie. He would follow that up with a .287 average alongside 13 HR, 20 doubles, a triple, and an .890 OPS across 67 games and 301 trips to the plate at Triple-A Toledo. Despite his fantastic campaign, Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris did not pull the trigger on a promotion to the big leagues. However, with holes at both second and third base, the two positions Keith is capable of playing, the Tigers have little choice but to take Keith north with them out of spring training. His defense will remain a work in progress but the 2020 fifth-round pick has forced his way into the big leagues with his bat. He is a dynasty league darling and a solid late-round look with second-base eligibility in redraft leagues.
