Tigers duo needed only eye contact to catch White Sox runner snoozing
Briefly

In a recent Tigers game, catcher Jake Rogers and first baseman Spencer Torkelson displayed exceptional teamwork without verbal communication. Anticipating a casual base running moment by Brooks Baldwin of the White Sox, Rogers signaled Torkelson, leading to a perfectly timed pickoff at first base. The execution of the play, amidst the Tigers' 7-1 lead, underscores the importance of being alert and capitalizing on opponents' complacency. Rogers expressed eagerness to revive such strategic plays, reminding players to stay sharp after hits, which can often lead to opportunities for outs.
Sometimes, the most important communication on a baseball field doesn't require words.
