Why one Detroit Tigers prospect is trusting the 'hit doctor' to elevate his game

LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Daniel Cabrera knows what a World Series ring looks like: diamonds, rubies, sapphires and a lot of pride. The No. 62 overall pick in the 2020 draft from LSU spent his summer training with former MLB middle infielder Ryan Theriot at Traction Sports Performance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Theriot, nicknamed the "hit doctor," isn’t afraid to show off his bling. He won the 2011 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals. He secured another title in 2012 for the San Francisco Giants.

“I need to get one,” Cabrera, 22, said Friday.
