Seasons

The 2017 Detroit Tigers season was the team's 117th season. This was the team's fourth and final year under manager Brad Ausmus. This was the first season without owner Mike Ilitch, who bought the team in 1992 and died on February 10, 2017.[1] The Tigers 2017 uniform features a "Mr. I" patch to honor him, the grounds crew wrote "Mr. I" in the outfield of Comerica Park, and he was also honored during a ceremony at the Tigers home opener on April 7.[2][3][4]

On September 12, the Tigers were eliminated from playoff contention for the third consecutive season.[5] On September 22, the Tigers announced manager Brad Ausmus will not return in 2018.[6] The team finished last in the AL Central, last in the league and tied with the San Francisco Giants for the worst record in MLB at 64–98, the team's lowest win total since 2003. Because the Tigers held a tiebreaker over the Giants, they received the first pick in the 2018 MLB draft. Incidentally, both teams had competed in the 2012 World Series five years earlier, which the Tigers lost.

This was ace pitcher Justin Verlander's last season with the Tigers. He had been with the team since 2005. He was traded to the Houston Astros on August 31. Verlander was the last remaining member of the 2006 American League Champion team.

Roster moves

Coaching staff

  • On October 5, the Tigers announced that they will exercise their 2017 option on manager Brad Ausmus.[7]
  • On October 8, it was announced hitting coach Wally Joyner will not return for 2017.[8]
  • On October 20, the Tigers named Lloyd McClendon hitting coach. McClendon is in his second stint on the Tigers coaching staff, after serving as the Tigers' hitting coach from 2007 to 2013. The Tigers also named longtime hitting coach of the Toledo Mud Hens, Leon Durham, assistant hitting coach, succeeding David Newhan.[9]

Season highlights

Team accomplishments

  • On April 16, the Tigers established a franchise record by hitting at least one home run in each of the team's first 12 games of the season.[30] The streak was extended to 13 games on April 18, before the Tigers went homerless on April 19. It was the second-longest streak in Major League history, one shy of the record set by the 2002 Cleveland Indians at 14 games.[31]
  • On April 25, the Tigers scored 19 runs in the game, it marked the first time the team has scored 13 or more runs in consecutive games since 1993. The Tigers' 19 runs, including nine-runs in the fifth inning, were the most in a game since 2008. The Tigers recorded 24 hits, while the Seattle Mariners recorded 16 hits, as the 40 combined hits broke the Comerica Park record for most hits in a nine-inning game. The Tigers were two runs shy of its franchise record, and four hits shy of its most hits in a game.[32][33]
  • On May 20, the Tigers hit three consecutive home runs in an inning for the first time since 2013.[34]
  • On September 8, the Tigers turned their first triple play since 2001.[35]

  • On April 11, James McCann hit his third home run of the season, becoming the first Tigers catcher in franchise history to hit three home runs in the first seven games of the season.[37]
  • On April 19, Nicholas Castellanos hit two triples in the game, becoming the first Tigers player to do so since Austin Jackson in 2012.[38]

Pitching

Defensive

All-Stars

The Tigers sent two players to the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Starting pitcher Michael Fulmer was named to the All-Star Game, but did not participate due to pitching on Sunday, so his teammate outfielder Justin Upton took his place on the American League roster.[53][54]
