On the final day of the draft, the Tigers continued on with the major developing themes of their 2024 class. They scoured the Earth for less well known pitching talent with plenty of projection remaining. There were more prep picks, there were more JUCO selections, and there was one big swing at a well known

After getting through the first five rounds, draft boards start to become pretty useless. Teams draft for raw skills that fit their development strengths if they’re smart, sometimes they’re taking an org guy to save money. Strategies start to play out to their fruition, whereas in the early rounds teams are juggling known quantities and

With the 114th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Tigers have selected right-handed pitcher Michael Massey. Pitching for the renowned Wake Forest pitching corps, Massey was viewed as one of the most electric relief prospects in the nation after a massively successful 2023 season. As a sophomore, he had an astonishing 16.6 strikeouts per

With the 147th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Tigers have selected infielder Jack Penney. Entering this season, Penney was expected to be a more highly coveted prospect on draft day, but he stumbled out of the gate as a junior at Notre Dame and is likely being drafted here as a player who

The Detroit Tigers were awarded the 11th overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, which they used on Sunday evening to select high school shortstop prospect Bryce Rainer. The bat-first infield prospect was widely expected to be off the board before the Tigers would get a chance to pick him, and the pick was unanimously

With the 85th pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the Detroit Tigers have selected right-handed pitcher Josh Randall. As a converted catcher who started pitching full-time in college at Arizona, Randall transferred to San Diego for his junior season and found significantly more success on the mound there. He was announced as a starting pitcher

With the 49th pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the Tigers have selected right handed pitcher Owen Hall. An 18-year-old pitcher from Edmond North High School in Oklahoma, there wasn’t much pre-draft chatter about Hall in this range. That doesn’t make him a bad pick; instead, it’s a reflection of how the Tigers see his

With the 72nd pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Detroit Tigers have selected pitcher Ethan Schiefelbein. With an unusual amount of current polish for a high schooler, Schiefelbein isn’t what you might expect from an early round prep pitcher. He’s a lefty from Corona High School in California, a not insignificant baseball school on

Sunday evening, the Tigers selected Bryce Rainer with the 11th overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft. Rainer is a shortstop from Harvard-Westlake High School in California. There was little connection between Rainer and the Tigers during the draft process — he was a riser who was initially below the Tigers’ range when the draft

The draft gets underway at 7:00 p.m. ET. Day one will cover the first two round, as well as Competitive Balance Rounds A and B. The Cleveland Guardians will pick first overall. The Tigers pick 11th. Late word on the street still seems to resolve around prep LHP Cam Caminiti, but some think that’s a
