The Detroit Tigers have called up former first-round pick Jace Jung, according to the Detroit Free Press. After calling up Trey Sweeney earlier this evening, reports emerged that Jung was also going to get his first taste of the major leagues.
Jung, a 23-year-old infielder, was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 draft. He split time between High-A West Michigan and Double-A Erie last season as a second baseman but switched to third base ahead of his move to Triple-A Toledo this year. Through 91 games, Jung has proven reliable enough there to warrant a call-up, but his calling card is still his bat.
