The Tigers have arguably the best Top 10 prospects in baseball. The system falls off after that, but if you believe that stars make an organization run, you’ll like what they are doing.
At the top are Max Clark and Jackson Jobe—two potential impact players at the highest level. Jobe should see Detroit in 2025, with Clark following in 2026. Given his excellent bat-to-ball skills, Kevin McGongile has jumped up on my list, and Jace Jung has already seen time in the Major Leagues.
The Tigers did well in selecting Bryce Rainer, with their first selection in July’s Draft. I don’t believe he has the same upside as Clark, but there is much to like. Finally, they have a pair of intriguing young catchers, Thayron Liranzo and Josue Briceno, that I like. The ceiling is extremely high on both.
