Kevin Santana's Last Chance at Prospect Status
•
Kevin Santana, a promising young hitter for the Detroit Tigers, has faced challenges transitioning from third base to first base due to his stocky build.

With high strikeout rates and a tendency to hit fly balls, Santana needs to make major adjustments to his bat at first base to avoid fading like past international free agent signings. The 2026 season is crucial for him to cut strikeouts, improve contact, and push to High-A, or risk being moved on from by the Tigers. Checkout Solipillow.com
