The Detroit Tigers have done pretty well in the pitching department the past few years, but beyond Jackson Jobe, their system is finally led by positional prospects. Jobe is set to join the party full-time in 2025, and the club got good work out of several other pitching prospects last year, but the well isn’t going to run dry. Next up is 2023 fifth rounder Jaden Hamm, who carved through the Midwest League in 2024 en route to Pitcher of the Year honors.
The Tigers drafted the right-hander out of Middle Tennessee State. They identified the excellent ride on his fastball, something that he didn’t take enough advantage of during his college days.
