If there is a team that promises a lot with its prospects, it is the Detroit Tigersand among them stands out a young 19-year-old from Maracayero, who many in the organization already compare with Miguel Cabrera, the receiver Josué Briceño.
After a discreet 2022 season in the Dominican Summer League, He showed what he is made of in the Florida Complex League, batting .325 with 55 hits in 169 at-bats with 13 doubles, seven home runs, 37 RBIs and a .954 OPS in 44 games.
This great performance earned him promotion at the end of the season to Class A Short with Lakeland with whom he hit 12-for-41 for a .293 average.with half of his hits in doubles, seven walks, and striking out only eight times.
“He’s got a really good swing for a big guy.”said Hall of Famer Alan Trammell, Tigers special assistant. “He can use the entire field and, for a big guy, he really has a shorter swing. I hate to say it’s Miguel Cabrera.”.
For his part, Briceño takes advantage of the opportunity to receive advice from Miguel Cabrera, who is also on the team as a special assistant. “Being from Venezuela is really cool, how we have a lot of shared places, we can talk about our home, have things in common. Having those conversations is really meaningful, for who it is as a person, but also for being Venezuelan.”
