ARLINGTON, Texas -- Detroit Tigers outfielder Tyler Collins enjoyed his off day around the pool with a few teammates on Thursday, utterly unfazed by the 100-degree temperatures.

After all, this is home.

"Everybody was like, 'All right, it's hot. We're ready to go in.' I was like, 'This is perfect. I don't know what y'all are talking about,'" Collins said. "This reminds me of my childhood. I don't get to spend too many summers here, so I don't really get the hard heat like this."

Collins grew up and went to school north of Fort Worth and still lives in suburban Trophy Club.
