Tigers Reportedly Sign Duque Hebbert To Minor-League Deal
2 years agoDetroit Tigers scout Luis Molina reportedly signed Team Nicaragua's relief pitcher Duque Hebbert to a minor-league contract Monday after his performance in the World Baseball Classic's 6-1 loss to Team Dominican Republic. The 21-year-old pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing a double to Manny Machado but striking out Juan Soto, Julio Rodriguez and Rafael Devers. The right-hander has never pitched in affiliated pro ball, but his performance against some of MLB's best hitters clearly caught the attention of the Tigers.
