The Detroit Tigers have selected shortstop Trei Cruz with the No. 73 overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft. Cruz, 21, was the third of five Tigers picks on day two of the draft.
Detroit’s preference for college performers continues to dominate this draft class. Take one look at Cruz’s numbers and you will see a player who dominated the opposing pitchers in his three years at Rice. He was a career .292/.393/.480 hitter as a college ballplayer and was a key part of the offensive core at Rice from his freshman year onward.
