The veteran slugger for the Detroit Tigers, Miguel Cabrera, says he is ready to start another MLB season, which would be his nineteenth in a row. According to the Venezuelan, this could be a very special one, because it is no time to reach two very important milestones and he is aware that this would catapult him to the Cooperstown Hall of Fame upon retirement from Major League Baseball.
This year Miggy has the opportunity to break several personal records, the two milestones that matter most are that of home runs and hitsCabrera is just 13 home runs away from reaching the 500 live in MLB, already 134 hits every 3,000
Considering a Miguel Cabrera offensive projection for 2021 prepared by Baseball Reference, the powerful slugger wouldn’t hit 3,000 as they predict he will hit just 129, that is, five less than his target. Anyway, it goes without saying that this is baseball and anything can happen.
We must not forget that Cabrera still has a three-year contract with the “Felinos”, when it expires, the South American will turn 40 years old.
