KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Akil Baddoo is a big leaguer with the Detroit Tigers again, roughly two months after the organization, citing his poor performance, demoted him to Triple-A Toledo.
These days, Baddoo appears both determined and calm.
He wants to be a difference maker, and he knows he can be, but the 23-year-old isn't going to force his way there by selling out for power or trying to do too much at the plate. His new goal is to have fun playing baseball by relying on his natural abilities, and with that, he believes the results will follow.
