Tanner Rainey

Tanner Rainey is exactly the kind of player I find myself rooting for. A Louisiana kid drafted by the Reds in 2015, he has bounced through Cincinnati, Washington, Pittsburgh, and now the Tigers organization, doing the thankless work of a reliever. Relief pitching rarely brings the glory of wins, yet it demands repeatedly walking into the most dangerous moments of a game. A power arm built to overwhelm hitters, he has weathered the volatility and injuries that define his role and kept climbing back onto the mound. There is a craftsman's stubbornness in that, and a Christmas-day birthday adds a nice bit of charm.
