Which Detroit Tigers Made the Cut?

Here is what Baseball America wrote about Clark, Jobe, Keith, and Jung.

Max Clark (No. 19) – “Clark has been one of the best high school hitters at draft showcases for several years,” Baseball America writes. “He should be a plus defender in center field to go with an ability to hit for average and get on base. If his power also develops as hoped, he could be a star.”

Jackson Jobe (No. 20) – “Jobe missed the first half of the 2023 season with a back injury, but once he returned, he was every bit as dominant as the Tigers had hoped for when they picked him third overall in 2021,” Baseball America writes. “Jobe has multiple ways to get hitters out, as well as some of the best pure stuff in the minors.”

Colt Keith (No. 28) – “The Tigers have done a better job in recent years of acquiring and developing well-rounded hitters like Keith,” Baseball America writes. “Keith is a .300 hitter for his minor-league career, but his power is even more impressive. He hit 27 home runs last year and finished third in the minors with 68 extra-base hits.”

Jace Jung (No. 81) – “Like his older brother, Rangers third baseman Josh Jung, Jace is a very promising hitter,” Baseball America writes. “Few doubt that, but there are still a lot of questions about where he’ll end up defensively. If he can just be a fringe-average defender, his bat will help the Tigers quickly.”
