Silver Spring native Akil Baddoo is back in the big leagues. The speedy outfielder was called up by the Detroit Tigers on May 14, and yesterday delivered what one Sports Illustrated writer argued might have been "the best defensive inning ever" in left field. Hyperbole or not, Baddoo's big plays were credited as key to the Tigers' victory Sunday. Along with his magnetic glove, Baddoo adds a power bat and major stolen base threat to the Detroit lineup. He'll have a chance to recapture or exceed his impressive 2021 and 2023 performances on a team that appears playoff-bound in the Motor City this season.
