At this point in the rebuild, Detroit Tigers fans were hoping the MLB draft would be an afterthought.
But that's not how the season has gone, with the Tigers struggling nearly from day one to a bottom-five record in baseball at 37-53.
In recent years, Round 1 has been hit-or-miss for the Tigers.
Beau Burrows, a 2015 first round pick (22nd overall), played in just six games in Detroit before he wasn't retained after the 2021 season.
Matt Manning, the 2016 selection (ninth overall), looks like a big league starter, but has been out since April 20 with bicep tendinitis.
