Logan Shore is the newest prospect in the Detroit Tigers’ farm system — literally. The Tigers acquired Shore as the player to be named later in their midseason trade with the Oakland Athletics, finalizing the deal on September 19. Because of this, Shore did not appear in any games with a Tigers affiliate in 2018, instead ending his season after a somewhat disappointing run with the Midland RockHounds, Oakland’s Double-A affiliate in the Texas League.
While Shore looks the part of a typical Tigers prospect — he’s a big-bodied righthander who pitched in the SEC in college — he doesn’t have the high-octane stuff we have normally seen them target in the past.
