Colt Keith, a top prospect in the Detroit Tigers' organization, did not play in Sunday’s game against the left-handed pitcher. Keith is a right-handed hitter, and the Tigers decided to give him the day off against the southpaw. This is a common practice in baseball, as left-handed pitchers tend to be tougher on right-handed batters.
Keith is one of the Tigers' top prospects, and he is expected to be a key part of the team's future. He is a talented hitter with a good eye at the plate and the ability to hit for power. Keith also has good speed and fielding skills.
The Tigers are hoping that Keith can develop into a star player, and they are giving him every opportunity to succeed. They are not rushing him to the major leagues, and they are allowing him to develop at his own pace. Keith is still just 22 years old, and he has plenty of time to reach his potential.
