Don’t look now, but Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is healthy and on the cusp of a major breakout in the early going. The 23-year-old outfielder seems to be regarded as almost an afterthought around the league, but there’s a good chance they haven’t seen anything yet.
As a 21-year-old, Greene held his own better than fellow top pick Spencer Torkelson. In 2023, he took another step forward, posting a 119 wRC+ that didn’t get much notice simply because he hasn’t been able to stay on the field.
In 2022 it was a broken foot.
