The High-A West Michigan Whitecaps had quite a week. On August 5, the Tigers’ 2022 first-round draft pick Jace Jung and fellow prospect Izaac Pacheco were added to the roster and put up an 11-run offensive showing against the Lansing Lugnuts. Jung’s night ended with an opposite-field hit, but it was Pacheco who captured the spotlight with a solo shot to cap off West Michigan’s scoring. He put on a repeat performance the following night, bombing off against another Lansing reliever. After going most of the season with the high-end prospects largely in the upper levels, or down in Lakeland getting their feet wet, the spotlight now becomes a good deal brighter on the Whitecaps down the stretch.
