In what feels like a unanimous vote, the Detroit Tigers have received glowing reviews for their 2020 MLB Draft class. It bears mentioning that after this draft, any player ranked on this list is a significant accomplishment. At this point, most within Detroit’s Top 30 would almost certainly be ranked higher for most other big-league organizations. MLB Pipeline rating the Tigers as the 5th best farm system in baseball – before adding Spencer Torkelson – validates that idea. While their rebuild isn’t anywhere near complete, the Tigers took significant steps forward last week.
I can’t remember a Tigers draft with a better blend of immediate impact and high-upside prospects.
