Detroit Tigers prospect Sergio Alcantara shows early promise

Recently acquired in the J.D. Martinez trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Sergio Alcantara has become a promising prospect for the Detroit Tigers.

When the Lakeland Flying Tigers took on Dunedin on Monday night, I decided to go have a look for myself, just to see what exactly the Tigers received from Arizona.

Alcantara hit second in the order, playing shortstop.

In his first at bat, he worked the count to 2-2 before driving a ball right through the hole into right for a single.

He followed that up by aggressive base running, as he went first to third on a soft single to center by Blaise Salter that not many would look to pull off.
