Detroit Tigers: Small schools, big players define picks 6-10

The Detroit Tigers are through day two of the three day MLB Draft. On day one, they grabbed Auburn right-hander Casey Mize with the first overall pick. They followed suit by grabbing prep outfielder Parker Meadows in the second round.

We talked about Mize in an individual draft profile, and we discussed Meadows, Kody Clemens, Kingston Liniak and Adam Wolf in a post about rounds 2-5.
