Jace Jung Impresses In Batting Practice
MLB.com's Jason Beck writes that Detroit Tigers third base prospect Jace Jung, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, put on a show during batting practice at spring training on Saturday by sending home runs to all fields. Now that Alex Bregman didn't sign with the Tigers, Jung, Matt Vierling and Andy Ibanez will be competing for the bulk of playing time at the hot corner in 2025. The 24-year-old Jung struggled down the stretch in 2024 and was hampered by a right-wrist injury, but he has regained the explosiveness that led him to 28 home runs in the minors in 2023. Jung had 15 homers in the minors last year and only one extra-base hit in 34 games with the Tigers before having surgery on his wrist in December. He's fully healthy this spring, though, and his exit velocities have been on the rise. The former first-rounder has more fantasy upside than Vierling because of his power, but he could return to Triple-A Toledo to start the 2025 season.
