DETROIT — Who knew?
Who knew Tigers rookie Ben Malgeri's superpower was stealing bases? Who knew his sprint speed, as measured in-game by Statcast, is faster than Max Clark's?
True story.
"I didn't know that," Malgeri said, with a smile.
Entering play Friday, Sept. 11, Malgeri was 5-for-5 on steals of second base. And his sprint speed, 29.1 feet per second, ranks in the 91st percentile in baseball.
