Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho just came within a whisker of a World Series title with the Blue Jays. Bobby Witt Jr., who won a batting title and finished runner-up in AL MVP voting in 2024, won a Platinum Glove Award this month. The sons of former big leaguers Reggie Willits and Matt Holliday were the first and fourth overall picks in the MLB Draft in July.nnCruz is the third generation in a baseball family. Jose Cruz Sr. is an Astros Hall of Famer and a legend in Houston, where he spent 13 of his 19 MLB seasons as a player plus 13 as a coach. Jose Cruz Jr. played 12 years and was a star in Toronto, where Trei was born.nnWith that history, success might have seemed inevitable when the Tigers drafted Trei in the third round in 2020. But his path has been anything but smooth.nnThe fit seemed ideal, a switch-hitting shortstop out of traditional powerhouse Rice University with the athleticism to play almost anywhere joining an organization that needed homegrown infielders. Once his dad joined A.J. Hinch’s coaching staff a few months later, it was a family affair.nn“Definitely the biggest thing they’ve taught me is how to handle failure,” Trei said of his dad and granddad shortly after being drafted. “Because baseball’s a game of failure.””,”type”:”text”},{“__typename”:”OEmbed”,”html”:”“,”providerName”:”MLB”,”providerUrl”:null,”thumbnail_url”:null,”type”:”oembed”,”width”:425,”contentType”:”rich”},{“__typename”:”Markdown”,”content”:”Those lessons served him well once his pro career began.

After Cruz worked around the infield his first couple years, Detroit introduced him to center field, the position where his dad and grandfather both began their careers.nn“I think the center field part is a pride thing for me,” he said, “because I come from a family of outfielders.
