There's a lot on the plate of Detroit Tigers catcher Carson Kelly.
The 29-year-old, after signing with the Tigers on Aug. 19, has been asked to learn a brand-new pitching staff. He is trying to make adjustments to his swing mechanics as a batter and his receiving mechanics as a catcher, all while competing in games without overthinking.
Another thing: Kelly is auditioning for a role beyond the 2023 season.
"Number one, my job as a catcher is to catch the baseball for the pitching staff and hold that down," Kelly said.
