Bligh Madris, a Detroit Tigers prospect, is setting his sights on a 30/30 season in 2025, aiming to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases. Madris achieved a 20/20 season in 2024, showcasing his power and speed. He hopes to solidify his place on the Tigers roster with his dual-threat abilities and solid defense.
"... my goal is to go 30 and 30." This is what Bligh Madris said he wants for himself in a conversation withIn the same conversation with Petzold, Madris mentioned that he was getting ready to be added to the playoff roster after Kerry Carpenter hurt his hamstring. In fact, the Tigers went as far as having him in Cleveland for Game 5 of the ALDS. Ultimately, Carpenter was healthy enough to suit up.
Although Madris was absent from the playoff roster, he did spend some time in the MLB during the 2024 season. From July 21 through Aug. 16, he played in 21 games for Detroit. In that time, he slashed .269/.324/.682 with one home run and eight runs scored. He was also able to finish with an OAA of three.
Madris was a dual-threat player in Triple-A during the season. He had a combination of speed and power as he finished with 19 home runs and 21 stolen bases. Both of those numbers are minor league career-highs for the 28-year-old. He also finished with a .767 OPS in 2024, which was the second-highest OPS in his minor league career.Madris is not satisfied, though. He wants to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in 2025.
Madris, a ninth round pick in 2017 out of Division II Colorado Mesa, has to compete with a slew of players to make the roster. He plays pretty good defense at first base and in the outfield, so that will help his case. However,Whether it is in the minor leagues, big leagues or both combined, a 30/30 season would be an impressive accomplishment.Cameron Zunkel is a sports writer from the western suburbs of Chicago.
