Unfortunately, Tigers outfielder Riley Greene is used to this.
On Friday against the Yankees, Green ripped his pants again on his way to second base with a count of 0-2.
It was Green’s second jersey malfunction this season, following the first time he tore his pants while sliding into home plate at Pittsburgh on April 9.
This time, he beat his opponent while sliding to second base in the third inning at Yankee Stadium.
Coincidentally, Major League Baseball announced Friday That uniform transforms into a much-maligned outfit manufactured by Fanatics and designed by Nike.
“Mike, the official uniform supplier of Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball, announced today that, after consultation with players, clubs and equipment managers, adjustments will be made to all club uniforms,” Commissioner Rob Mann said. Fred said in a statement.
“Feedback from players and clubs is very important to us,” he continued. “We are working with Nike to listen to our players and, as a result, address their concerns.
“For the 2025 season, Nike-designed MLB uniforms will include large text on the back of the jersey and allow all players to individually customize their pants. We are also working on a solution to address the slight color difference between the jersey and pants of the gray road uniform and, in some cases, discoloration that can occur due to sweat, once a solution is finalized later this season. The team will be wearing tailored gray uniforms on the pitch.
“We continue to work with Nike to make adjustments to our goal of providing uniforms that look great and help MLB players perform at their best.”
Despite Pant’s issues, Green finished the night 3-for-4, giving up the Tigers’ only run and a walk in a 2-1 loss.
