Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario has already made a number of magnificent plays at the hot corner. His instincts — specifically on a sharp grounder off Whit Merrifield's bat in the eighth inning — helped the team to a 4-3 win Tuesday.
He made a couple more in Wednesday's 5-4 victory as the Tigers improved to 4-2 this season.
"I hit him groundballs today," manager Ron Gardenhire said Tuesday. "I feel pretty good about myself."
The prospect acquired in a 2017 trade with the Chicago Cubs isn't so young anymore.
