Tigers Draft Strategy Shifts | Detroit Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers strike gold in the MLB draft, snagging top talent at 24th overall and a competitive balance pick to stretch their bonus pool. They smartly spread investments early with underslot deals to maximize later picks. First-round steal Jordan Yost, a slick defensive shortstop with contact skills and power potential, headlines the haul. In the competitive balance round, they land catcher Michael Oliveto—a Yale-bound lefty with elite swing mechanics and a pro-ready work ethic. They also grab pitching gems Malachi Witherspoon (raw stuff, needs command) and rising lefty Ben Jacobs. With a balanced mix of college and high school arms and position players, the Tigers are pivoting toward college pitchers and undervalued JUCO talent, building depth for the long haul.
