DETROIT \u2013 The Detroit Tigers<\/a> have a fifth representative heading to the All-Star game: Bat boy Frankie Boyd.<\/p>\n

Fans voted to send to Atlanta alongside pitcher Tarik Skubal<\/a> and starters Gleyber Torres<\/a>, Riley Greene<\/a>, and Javier B\u00e1ez<\/a> for the Midsummer Classic.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have the best record in baseball, and a small portion of that comes from the bat boys and girls, including Boyd, who has gotten the seal of approval from pitcher Tommy Kahnle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call Frankie the G.O.A.T. He does everything,\u201d said Kahnle.<\/p>\n

Greene issued the same sentiments as he wants Boyd to join him in Atlanta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Detroit Tigers have four players going to Atlanta for the All-Star game, but fans can add another key teammate in Frankie Boyd, who is the team’s Bat Boy, ahead of the July 8 deadline. (Copyright 2025 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n
