Detroit Tigers: A look at 2017 first-round pick Alex Faedo

Detroit Tigers front office has a history of liking pitchers in early rounds in most years.

Round Number One

With the 18th-overall pick, Detroit selected Alex Faedo out of the University of Florida. The team scooped up the number 10 overall player in the entire draft according to Baseball America.

Faedo is a 21-year-old, right-handed pitcher who stands 6’5″ and weighs 225 pounds.

The coincidental part of this pick is that Faedo was selected by the Detroit Tigers out of high school in the 40th round of the 2014 draft, but elected to go to college.
