Scorching Tigers prospect hits home run in fourth consecutive game
Bryce Rainer hit his 14th home run of the season, and his fourth in as many games, Tuesday night for the West Michigan Whitecaps.
Bryce Rainer, ranked No. 3 prospect by MLB Pipeline, has continued his impressive performance with a powerful home run in his fourth consecutive game. This streak is the longest of his professional career, surpassing his previous two-game homer streaks. Rainer has now hit 14 home runs this season, distributed between Low-A Lakeland and High-A West Michigan.
His first home run of the four-game run was a 111-MPH shot over the wall in right field on August 14, followed by another home run the next day in another home game against Lansing. Rainer's third consecutive home run was hit on August 16, also at home against Lansing. His streak reached four home runs on Tuesday when he hit a monster blast to center field during a game against South Bend.
Rainer, 21, was the Tigers' first-round pick in the 2024 draft and began his pro career with Lakeland in 2025 after a disrupted season due to a shoulder injury. He is currently batting .270/.377/.466 in 81 games with the Whitecaps.
