With the fifth overall pick, the options for the Detroit Tigers in the first round of the 2019 amateur draft are pretty well established. Cal 1B Andrew Vaughn is the rare first baseman who appears a lock to go in the top five. The Tigers are also strongly linked to Florida prep outfielder Riley Greene. Vanderbilt slugger J.J. Bleday provides a more seasoned option in a corner outfielder with power should the Tigers find Greene too high risk. There are a few option possibilities, but overall there is a pretty narrow pool of players the Tigers appear to be on for their first round selection.
A system in need of impact infielders should have a few interesting options in the second round.
