The Detroit Tigers draft philosophy is has gone through some big changes since Scott Harris took over in late fall of 2022. The scouting leadership of VP Rob Metzler and director of amateur scouting, Mark Conner has favored a much more prep heavy approach and the early returns on their first two draft classes have been good. The Tigers have a nice group of young position players led by Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark. It’s less obvious on top 100 lists, but the Tigers also have quite of stockpile of talented young pitchers aiming to tackle A-ball in 2025.
