Mired in an ages-long rebuild and with a farm system that isn’t known for players possessing high-end athleticism, outfielder Parker Meadows is a bastion of unrefined physical gifts lurking under the surface of Detroit Tigers prospect coverage.
It can sometimes be easy to forget about Meadows, which is peculiar considering he was the first pick in the second round back in 2018, and has a brother, Austin, who is a quality major leaguer with the Tampa Bay Rays. We knew all along it would take a while to make an impact, but a rough debut took a lot of the shine off his prospect status.
