“The Tigers are now willing to play Keith at third base, as he has received p
ractice reps there recently. The 23-year-old is available to play third base
— effective Wednesday, June 4. If all goes well, Keith could settle in as the
primary third baseman, which would fill a gaping hole for the Tigers.”
根據記者Evan Petzold 的報導，老虎隊現在已經準備好讓 Keith 重返三壘位置，他最近
也開始參與三壘守備的練習。這位 23 歲的球員自 6 月 4 日（週三）起已具備上場守三
壘的條件。如果一切順利，他有機會成為球隊的主力三壘手，填補老虎隊在該守位上的巨
大空缺。
"We're curious about how we can maximize this roster," manager A.J. Hinch said
before Wednesday's game. "I don't know that it will be something that is prim
ary, or I don't know that it's something you're going to see a lot of, but the
re are a lot of times during games — as we do use our whole roster — where b
eing able to put him over there could be very advantageous."
老虎隊總教練 A.J. Hinch 在週三賽前表示：
「我們正在思考怎麼樣才能最大化這套陣容的使用方式。我不確定 Keith 擔任三壘手會
不會成為主要方案，或者會不會經常看到這樣的安排，但在很多比賽情境中——尤其當我
們使用全隊戰力的時候——能夠讓他守三壘可能會是一個很有利的選項。」
President of baseball operations Scott Harris — who signed Keith to a six-yea
r, $28.6 million contract in January 2024 before Keith had made his MLB debut
— moved Keith to second to "save a little bit of the load on his arm," but he
also said the Tigers weren't "closing the door on third base at all."
老虎棒球事務總裁 Scott Harris 在 Keith 還沒登上大聯盟時，便與他簽下 6 年 2,860
萬美元的合約。當時 Harris 將他移防到二壘，以「減輕肩膀負擔」，但也強調「我們
並沒有關上讓他回三壘的大門」。
The Tigers have a logjam on the right side of the infield: The success of Spen
cer Torkelson at first base and Gleyber Torres at second leave the Tigers with
no choice but to put Keith at designated hitter. That forces Kerry Carpenter
— whom the Tigers would prefer at designated hitter to protect his health —
to spend a majority of his time in right field, thus limiting opportunities fo
r Wenceel Pe rez and Justyn-Henry Malloy.
老虎隊目前在內野右側出現擁擠的情形，Spencer Torkelson 在一壘表現穩定；Gleyber
Torres 在二壘也成為常駐主力；這導致 Keith 被擺在DH的位置，但這樣一來，球隊原本
希望保護健康、讓他擔任 DH 的 Kerry Carpenter 只好轉到外野（右外野）守備，進而
壓縮了 Wenceel Perez 與 Justyn-Henry Malloy 的出賽機會。

心得：Keith 在小聯盟的時候，肩膀有受過傷，所以2023年之後就沒有守過三壘了，現在
老虎三壘缺人，把Keith 放到三壘，也可以解決內野的右半邊比較擁擠的問題。
