The Detroit Tigers are finally starting to see some improvements in their international pipeline. Catcher Enrique Jimenez may be the next to follow Keider Montero, Wenceel Pérez, and Josue Briceño to the major leagues or high into the national rankings. The Venezuelan born catcher was ranked the 32nd best prospect in the 2023 signing period by both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America. He signed for a $1.25 million bonus, and so far the Tigers have no reason to regret that contract.
Jimenez just turned 19 back in November and hasn’t played above the Complex League yet, so there isn’t a lot of data or film on him.
