Dingler Dominates, Tigers Offense Roars

0:00On April 21st, Detroit Tigers catcher Dylan Dingler is straight dominating the season, outshining even stars like Tark Scoobal and Framber Valdez. He's leading the team with five home runs, 18 RBIs, and a 936 OPS through 23 games. Last year, he snagged his first goal glove, and now he's topping MLB catchers in the new ABS challenge system for defense. The Tigers are hurting for power, with just 17 team homers so far, and only carry Carpenter matching Dingler with multiple dingers. But Dingler's production is no fluke. All five of his bombs and 16 RBIs came in wins, proving he's clutch. In high leverage spots, he's slashing 344 over 432, over 688 across 37 played appearances. That includes a three run homer off-guerra crochet that blew open a win against the Red Sox. Dig into the advanced stats, and his expected well-based hit second in baseball at 475, trailing only Jordan Alvarez among qualifiers.

1:02That quality of contact marks screams he's got even more upside. Dingler stays hot tonight as the Tigers host the Brewers at 640 PM Eastern, and if he keeps this up, Detroit's offense could finally roar. MLB news today, powered by AI, bringing you what matters on the diamond.
