Two hits, stolen base Monday Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Monday's win over the Guardians. He also stole a base.

Impact Greene showed off his full bag of tricks Monday, registering his third double and fourth stolen base of the season. The young outfielder is now batting .269, and while he's still looking to get his power stroke going with only three home runs, he's showing positive signs in his sophomore campaign. That's particularly true on the bases, as Greene only had one steal last year in five attempts.

The 22-year-old broke his foot toward the end of camp last year, which pushed back his MLB debut to June.

Could hit in leadoff spot Greene could hit in the leadoff spot for the Tigers in 2023, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Greene is far from locked into the top spot, as the Tigers want to evaluate their other options during the Grapefruit League. The 22-year-old had an up-and-down 2022 rookie season with a slash line of .253/.321/.362 with five homers and one stolen base in five attempts. Greene was considered one of the best outfield prospects in baseball coming into the 2022 season, and there were certainly flashes that suggest there's a very bright future ahead. The Tigers' lack of quality everyday players should allow Greene to hit in the top half of the lineup even if he's not leading off.

Wants to limit groundballs Greene wants to improve his launch angle in 2023, with the hope of trading in some groundballs for line drives, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Greene's average launch angle of 2.8 degrees was second-lowest among MLB hitters with at least 400 plate appearances last season. Not surprisingly, his groundball rate was 12 percent higher than league average as a result. The talented 22-year-old said he doesn't want to fall into the trap of being a flyball hitter, though he does want to make more hard contact and drive the ball into alleys and occasionally over the fence. Greene flashed signs of his potential during his 2022 debut, and if he can hit the ball with more authority in 2023, he could become a significant fantasy factor.
