Tommy Kahnle, a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, recently celebrated a significant career milestone, reaching 10 years of MLB service time. This accomplishment not only grants him full benefits in the pension plan but also places him among the elite, as less than 10% of MLB players achieve this level of longevity in their careers. Kahnle's journey began in 2014 with the Colorado Rockies, where he made his debut, and has since seen him play for five different teams, including the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite a rain delay that postponed a scheduled game against the Rockies, Kahnle was honored by his teammates and manager, A.J. Hinch, highlighting the importance of this milestone. At 35, Kahnle has shown resilience in his career, overcoming significant challenges such as Tommy John surgery. His career stats reflect a strong performance, with a 3.38 ERA over 402 games. Kahnle expressed pride in his journey, noting the hard work and perseverance required to reach this point.
