The Detroit Tigers can feel certain about one thing: They have the No. 1 pick in the draft.
What that Major League Baseball draft will look like, when and where it will take place and how the selections will be made, still isn’t clear.
“It’s going to present different challenges, probably,” said Scott Pleis, Detroit’s director of amateur scouting. “It’s just going to be different. It’s not going to affect the outcome, it’ll just be a different way of coming to that outcome.”
The NFL experienced that last week because of the coronavirus pandemic, conducting a remote draft with video screens, Zoom chats and other tech innovations that made the event popular with fans.
