Especially when you are a 24-year-old infielder, a first-round Tigers draft pick from 2021, who last season had a taste of big-league ball in Detroit and who now finds himself at Triple A Toledo, not hitting as he and his bosses envisioned in 2025, all while dealing with (more barbed-wire imagery) the ordeal of a swing-change. “The first two weeks I felt like I was swinging with my eyes closed,” Jung said during a Friday phone conversation. It has to do with lowering Jung’s hands – being more direct to pitches. It was explained to him by manager AJ Hinch and the Tigers staff, after a game on May 13, his last of 18 games in 2025 with the Tigers, he needed time at Triple A to alter a swing that in 2025 wasn’t working.
