LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase, or in this case, the Tigers' starting left fielder, received a fly ball off the bat of Brandon Lowe at Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, in Monday's spring training game.
It was his first game of the spring in the outfield.
Haase, a multi-positional player, tracked the ball and caught it for the second out in the third inning. In the offseason, manager A.J. Hinch told his most-established catcher — and one of his best hitters — to bring his outfield glove to camp.
