Jace Jung settles at West Michigan as Tigers prepare for a jolt

There were no news bulletins issued. No surprises registered.

Jace Jung was doing precisely what the Tigers had expected when they chose him last month, 12 picks deep into the 2022 MLB Draft.

He was hitting the ball, hard for the most part, in his last six games for the West Michigan Whitecaps: 8-for-22, with four walks tossed in, as well his first professional home run — a first-inning drive Saturday beyond the right-field wall at LMCU Ballpark.

Jung bats left-handed, plays second base, and represents a frenzied move by the Tigers to bring offense into their organizational picture.
