Over the past two years, Perez has demonstrated solid performance with the Seawolves, maintaining a .283 average and contributing 11 homers, 19 doubles, seven triples, and 24 stolen bases. Jung, a second baseman from Texas Tech, has shown increasing power this summer with 14 homers and a .842 OPS. Jobe, recovering from lumbar spine surgery earlier this year, made an impressive comeback with six starts for Lakeland, achieving a 2.25 ERA with 20 strikeouts and three walks over 16 innings. He has posted a 0.94 WHIP in those games.

  • Jobe makes a promising comeback post-spine surgery, with an impressive ERA and strikeout count.

Bottom Line – Stripes Earned, Not Given

As it stands, Jung (No. 2) Jobe (No. 3), and Perez (No. 8) are three of the Tigers' top prospects, according to MLB.com. The fact that all three of those players are moving up is obviously a great sign. With that being said, all three players will have to continue to demonstrate that they have what it takes to play at the MLB level before they are called up to the Big Leagues.
