Jace Jung Hits First Home Run Of The Spring
23 seconds agoDetroit Tigers third baseman prospect Jace Jung belted his first home run of the spring in a 1-for-3 day at the plate in a 3-1 Grapefruit League win over the Braves on Tuesday. The former first-round draft pick is 4-for-28 (.160) this spring, but despite the lack of production, he appears to have the inside track to be Detroit's Opening Day third baseman. The left-handed hitter debuted in 2024, and although he hit just .241 with no home runs over 34 games, he demonstrated a keen eye by walking in 16.0 percent of his plate appearances, leading to a strong .362 OBP. Even though he did not hit any long balls in the majors last season, the power is there. He belted 28 home runs across two levels of the minors in 2023 over 128 games and another 14 at Triple-A in 2024 over 91 games. With an NFBC ADP of 461, however, he's realistically only a fantasy option in deeper and AL-only leagues.
