As a perusal of the Detroit Tigers’ prospect rankings will quickly reveal, the organization needs high caliber bats more than anything. This year perhaps the best option is Alec Bohm out of Wichita State University. The junior third baseman has put up monster numbers for over a year now, and came out extremely hot this spring, though he’s since cooled a bit.
As the Tigers continue their prep work prior to the one of the more important picks in franchise history, one can’t help look back at not just which players were selected 1-1 over the years, but how various position groupings panned out in total.
