I am a data-driven person when it comes to baseball information and sometimes I also look at a player and have an old fashion “feeling” about one. My logic is flawed and I admit, being a baseball co-expert here, you have to make sure you live up to that billing when it comes to discussions…
It’s become an annual hobby for me to peruse the draft rankings provided by MLB Pipeline and look for players who may interest the Tigers in the middle rounds of the draft. While Pipeline isn’t my favorite draft resource, the draft itself usually takes an unexpected route and predraft media rankings often have little correlation
The first day of the 2021 MLB draft is in the books, and as usually there were no shortage of surprise picks. The Tigers walked away with one of the best hauls of the night, after selecting Jackson Jobe and Ty Madden in the first and Competitive Balance rounds, respectively. Detroit will once again be
The Tigers used their first pick in the 2021 MLB draft to select high school righty Jackson Jobe. The best prep pitcher in the class, Jobe will bring both high-end talent and an element of financial flexibility to Detroit’s draft class. It was somewhat puzzling pick, as a number of more talented players who were
The Tigers doubled up on right-handed pitching Sunday night, grabbing University of Texas ace Ty Madden with the 32nd-overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, after they had tabbed Oklahoma prep Jackson Jobe with the No. 3overall choice. Madden, 21, is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound starter who was Big 12 Pitcher of the Year. The Tigers got
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Getting swept in a four-game series to the previously struggling Minnesota Twins wasn’t what the Detroit Tigers expected heading into the All-Star break. Their crazy 12-9, 10-inning loss on Sunday left a bad taste in the mouths. Manager AJ Hinch hopes his team can take its mind off
The Detroit Tigers believe Jackson Jobe can become an ace. They believe in him so much that they decided to shock the baseball world Sunday night, taking Jobe with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 MLB draft. All four high school shortstops were shoved aside for the 18-year-old right-handed pitcher from Heritage Hall High
After scooping up a pair of starting pitchers in Sunday’s early business from the three-day MLB Draft, the Tigers might be expected to turn toward position help when Round Two of the 20-round sweepstakes begins at 1 p.m. Monday. The Tigers will have the day’s third pick, No. 39 overall, and it is known they
They were expected to bag a blue-chip infielder with Sunday’s third pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, ideally California prep shortstop Marcelo Mayer. But even as Mayer sat there, unclaimed, in a somewhat stunning surprise after the Pirates shopped elsewhere with the draft’s first pick, the Tigers went for an old standby Sunday — pitching — in
DENVER — A left-hander some teams considered the Draft’s top southpaw and a pair of players currently participating in Clemson’s summer football camp highlight a deep trove of talent still available in the Draft, which began Sunday with 36 prospects selected in the first and supplemental first rounds. The Draft continues Monday with rounds 2-10.
Two years before Gregory Soto could dream of being an All-Star closer, he was an opener, and not a particularly good one. The Tigers lost 114 games in 2019, and Soto took five of those losses. He had just three games and 13 1/3 innings above Class A ball at the time of his first
MINNEAPOLIS — For the first time since 2013, the Tigers drafted two pitchers in the first round of the MLB Draft. Like that Draft, Detroit rounded out its first round with a University of Texas Longhorn who dropped down some boards and into the Tigers’ laps, snagging right-hander Ty Madden with the 32nd overall pick.

The Detroit Tigers selected Texas right-hander Ty Madden with their compensatory round pick, No. 32 overall, in Competitive Balance Round A of Sunday night’s 2021 MLB draft.

With the 32nd pick in the 2021 MLB draft, the Detroit Tigers have selected right-handed pitcher Ty Madden from Texas University. Considered by many as a top-10 talent in the class, Madden experienced a draft day slide that allowed the Tigers to pick him up in the Competitive Balance Round A. Madden has been a

Toledo, Ohio – The Mud Hens lost a back and forth contest with the Storm Chasers tonight, falling by a score of 6-5. The Hens were again haunted by leaving men on base as they stranded twelve base runners. The offense actually performed well in the game otherwise, with every starter recording at least one
