Eduardo Valencia just shattered a 94-year-old Tigers record with 29 total bases in his first 11 big league games, becoming the franchise’s all-time leader for most total bases in a player’s debut stretch. He’s also the only Tiger since 2021 to homer in his very first MLB at-bat — and he did it despite overcoming Tommy John surgery. Hitting .452 with 4 homers and 11 RBIs, Valencia’s resilience has earned praise from manager A.J. Hinch and teammates like Kerry Carpenter, who call him fearless and deserving. With the Tigers four and a half games out of first place, Valencia’s explosive start is a major lift as they head into their next matchup against the Mariners.
