Former San Francisco Giants’ first baseman and left fielder Brett Pill is returning to the United States. After spending three highly successful seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization with the Kia Tigers, Pill is joining the Detroit Tigers on a minor league contract. The Tigers announced his deal, along with 21 others, on Tuesday.
Pill began his major league career with a bang. The former seventh-round pick made his major league debut for the Giants on September 6th, 2011, and cranked a two-run home run in his first plate appearance against Wade LeBlanc.
