Detroit Tigers: Victor Martinez’ Habit of Crushing AL Central Pitching

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez has had a long and successful career.

Over the course of 14 seasons, the 38-year-old has mashed 227 home runs while driving in 1077 runs.

He’ll likely reach 2000 hits at some point in 2017 as one of the anchors of a Tigers lineup that will also feature Miguel Cabrera and Justin Upton.

The designated hitter enters Spring Training with 1936 hits to his name.

Due to Martinez’ lengthy success—especially in the American League Central, where he’s spent over 13 seasons with Detroit and Cleveland— it probably isn’t surprising that the hitter has been extremely productive against divisional foes.
