Through two games in the American League Wild Card series, the Detroit Tigers have managed just three runs total off the Cleveland Guardians' pitching staff. Perhaps nothing exemplified this more than AJ Hinch's decision to pinch-hit for Riley Greene in the seventh inning. AJ Hinch's justification of pinch-hitting for Riley Greene only highlights the Tigers' glaring flawIf it seems strange that the Tigers would pinch hit for their home run leader and the guy who posted the highest wRC+ on the team, that's because it is. Greene set the team record for most strikeouts in a single season with 201, but he's far from alone in Detroit's whiff-prone lineup. The Tigers had the fourth-highest strikeout rate in all of baseball this season, coming in at 23.9%.
