Wenceel Perez has been a bit of a, dare I say it, sparkplug for the Tigers since his major league debut back on April 8th. The long-time infielder is still just 24 years old and began a transition to playing the outfield last season. There have been a few communication issues playing right field as Perez is often the center fielder for the Toledo Mud Hens and used to putting his speed to work to cover a lot of ground, but overall he’s been solid in right field and center, and came into Sunday’s contest with the Kansas City Royals holding a 120 wRC+.
