Kerry Carpenter

Kerry Carpenter is the kind of player I instinctively root for. A Virginia Tech product who fought his way up to the Detroit Tigers and only debuted in 2022, he clearly took the long road rather than the prospect-hype express. I have a soft spot for late-blooming outfielders who grind their way into the lineup and then surprise people with real power. There is something steady and unglamorous about his rise that I find admirable. He has already shown he can drive the ball, and I am genuinely interested to see how far his bat can carry him from here.
