The Detroit Tigers should draft a position player first overall

With their 111th loss last night against the Minnesota Twins, the Detroit Tigers have secured the worst record in the MLB for the 2019 season and the first overall pick in the 2020 draft. With an entire field of prospects to choose from, the Tigers scouts will have their hands full.

Before looking ahead to the upcoming draft, it’s important to remember who Detroit drafted in the first round over the last few years. From 2016 to 2018, the Tigers used their first-round picks on pitchers, including top prospects Matt Manning and Casey Mize.
