Miguel Cabrera: How many batting titles did Detroit Tigers' legendary slugger win?

In August, MLB legend Miguel Cabrera announced his intention to return to the Detroit Tigers for the 2023 season. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer told The Detroit News' Chris McCosky, "I'm not going to give up. ... Next year, I'll be right here."

Cabrera is coming off one of his least productive seasons. While every stat he adds propels him up various all-time lists, Miggy only managed to total five home runs and 43 RBIs while batting .254. He may no longer be the player he once was, but his respect around the league makes an uncompetitive Detroit Tigers team worthy of some attention.

Cabrera has enjoyed one of the best MLB careers of his generation, compiling achievements that most players can only dream of.

"Let's keep it real ... think Miguel Cabrera can squeeze out 100 more hits in his final season? If he stays healthy, even with diminished playing time, I think he can. That would shoot him up the all-time hits list to 16th, past some impressive names and just behind Lajoie," Jim Walenwander Franco tweeted.

A two-time MVP, Miguel Cabrera has been selected to the All-Star team 12 times, while also winning seven Silver Slugger awards and a World Series title. In 2012, Miggy became the 17th player in history to win the Triple Crown, something no one has accomplished since. Ty Cobb is the only other Detroit Tiger to win the Triple Crown.

"He’s won the Triple Crown. He’s a 2x MVP and 11x All-Star. He’s a 7x Silver Slugger award winner with four batting titles. Is Miggy the greatest right-handed hitter of all-time?" Barstool Detroit tweeted.

The legendary slugger has been one of the most elite hitters of his generation, winning four batting titles along the way. Throughout his 20-year MLB career with the Miami Marlins and Detroit Tigers, Cabrera has recorded 3,088 hits while maintaining a career .308 batting average.

A look at Miguel Cabrera's historic 2012 season

While Miguel Cabrera will find himself elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame when first eligible because of his storied MLB career, his best season came in 2012. The Venezuelan slugger delivered one of the strongest offensive seasons of the past 20 years, securing the Triple Crown.

Miggy finished with a career-high 205 hits, along with 44 home runs and 139 RBIs. He also finished with an American League-leading .330 batting average. No player has since won the Triple Crown, although New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge came close last season.

"Aaron Judge is not in the New York Yankees' lineup for their regular season finale. He's currently .004 behind Luis Arraez for the AL batting title and a chance at the Triple Crown," ESPN tweeted.
