No one sells him short. No one makes assumptions. All because Dane Myers is the Tigers farm-hand story that with time gets better and better.

Part one: Myers is a pitcher at Rice University, good enough in 2017 to win a sixth-round draft stab by the Tigers.

Dane Myers has socked 19 home runs this season at Double-A Erie, and has the ability to play in the outfield, first base and third base.

Part two: The pitching dream, by 2019, isn’t working out. But an athlete who always has been a hitter, and a fielder, is coaxed into making that not-so-nimble conversion to position player where he can wield his impressive right-handed bat.
