Alex Avila

When Alex Avila made his major league debut for the Detroit Tigers in 2009, he hit the ground running and made a name for himself at the club before playing for the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Minnesota Twins. In the course of his career, he won the Silver Slugger Trophy for playing for his third team in three seasons.

Before hanging his boots at the MLB, Avila was selected for the American League All-Star, and like his father, he returned to the Detroit Tigers as Assistant Counsel, Baseball Relations for the Tigers after his retirement in 2021. He is nicknamed as “The Titanium Catcher.”
