Don Kelly, everyone’s favorite utility player, has solidified his place in the Tigers organization. After signing on to work in Player Development and Scouting for the 2017 season, Kelly has now been promoted to full-time Major League Scouting for the 2018 season.
Kelly played for the Tigers from 2009-14, and retired from baseball following the 2016 season. During his tenure with the Tigers he had a .234/.297/.334 line and played every position on the field with the exception of shortstop. While he was never considered a breakout star, he won the hearts of fans with his aw-shucks charm and a likable demeanor that he projected both on and off the field.
