The West Michigan Whitecaps will have some real drawing power when their Midwest League season begins on May 4th. With their home opener slated for May 11th against the Great Lakes Loons, the roster will feature a host of interesting prospects, including the Detroit Tigers two newest high-end prospects. The Whitecaps’ announced their starting roster today, headed by 2020 first overall pick Spencer Torkelson, and second round pick, catcher Dillon Dingler.
Overall, the Whitecaps roster is probably the most interesting group among all the affiliates. The Toledo Mud Hens will have top pitching prospect Matt Manning, as well as infielder Isaac Paredes and centerfielder Daz Cameron, but the Whitecaps roster has some intriguing names in a system that could really use a few guys to break out.
