The Detroit Tigers are starting to see the fruits of a well-stocked farm system.
Pitchers such as Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, who made their major-league debuts last season but still retained prospect status, helped the Tigers open the season with Baseball America's No. 4 farm system. And, though, Mize and Skubal have since graduated, the Tigers still boast one of baseball's top prospect hotbeds.
On Monday, Baseball America slotted the Tigers at No. 6 in its midseason organizational talent rankings.
That system is led, of course, by first/third baseman Spencer Torkelson (No. 4 overall) and outfielder Riley Greene (5), and includes pitchers Matt Manning (62) and 2021 first-round pick Jackson Jobe (90) among baseball's top 100 prospects.
