Breaking down Detroit Tigers’ high-risk 2025 MLB Draft picks
On the “Days of Roar” podcast, draft expert Tyler Jennings of “Just Baseball” analyzes Day 1 of the 2025 MLB Draft for the Detroit Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers have a new famous fan.
Chef Reactions (@chefreactions on TikTok and Instagram) is a social media influencer who reacts to viral recipe videos and takes culinary tours of U.S. cities on his social media channels. He has 3.7 million followers on TikTok and 2.1 million on Instagram … and he has spent the past few weeks looking for a new baseball team to follow.
The popular social media figure said he hadn’t regularly watched baseball in over 20 years and never had a favorite team, but that he had received an invite from MLB to attend the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, where he would reveal which team he had chosen.
He posted his choice on Tuesday, July 15, while attending the game.
Based on a previous video, the celebrity chose his favorite team from a list of six finalists: the Tigers and the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Guardians, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners.
The identity of Chef Reactions is not widely known. According to WIRED, he keeps his identity and location private for his own personal safety.
