Keith should now be on every MLB fan’s radar
Much of the Detroit Tigers’ season has showcased forgettable baseball, with some standout players like Tarik Skubal being rare bright spots. However, rookie Colt Keith delivered a memorable moment Saturday, belting a game-tying two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“Playing the Dodgers, obviously they’ve got a billion dollars’ worth of players,” Keith said. “(We were) able to beat them with the boys here.”
Keith’s comment may seem hyperbolic, but it’s not an exaggeration. Los Angeles has over $1 billion tied up in Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s contracts alone. This season, the Dodgers have the league’s fourth-highest payroll at $249.8 million, while the Tigers are 24th at $103.8 million.
While Los Angeles has a star-studded and expensive roster, Detroit may have found a young stud of its own. After a slow start to his career, Keith has hit .327 with seven homers over his past 27 games. The 2020 fifth-round pick is on a 13-game on-base streak, and his .509 slugging percentage since May 11 leads all rookies.
