After taking a pair of high-upside hitters with their first two picks of the 2019 MLB draft, the Detroit Tigers continued that trend on Tuesday. Six of their eight picks on Day 2 of the draft were position players, including their first four of the day. They also skewed heavily towards college players, something they (and other MLB teams) typically do on day two.
The Tigers started the day by grabbing Tennessee third baseman Andre Lipcius with their third round pick, the No. 83 overall selection of the draft. Lipcius is solidly built, at 6’1 and 190 pounds, and started to produce more power in his junior season with the Volunteers.
