Coming within a few games of a postseason appearance in 2015, the Connecticut Tigers made it clear that there is plenty of talent in the lower levels of the Tigers' organization.
As part of the short season New York-Penn League that runs from mid-June to September, the Connecticut Tigers don't get as much attention as the four main affiliates in the Detroit Tigers' farm system. However, fans in the northeast often get the first glimpse at the team's newest draft picks, and 2015 was no exception.
The Tigers managed a 35-38 record on the year, dropping seven of their final 11 games to finish six games behind the Tri-City Valley Cats in the New York-Penn League's Stedler Division.
