Detroit Tigers: Five Day 3 draft picks who could surprise
(Photo: George Walker IV / The Tennessean)The Detroit Tigers drafted 30 players Wednesday.
Not every pick is going to pan out, that's the nature of baseball, but some might make it.
Here are five players the Tigers drafted on day three to keep an eye out for according to Perfect Game scout Brian Sakowski:
LHP Kacey Murphy
School: University of Arkansas-Fayetteville
Pick: Round 11, No. 315
Scout's take: (He's) a pitch-ability lefty, he's not somebody with big stuff, but throws a lot of strikes. Usually 87-92 with his fastball.There's some potential back-end starting pitcher there or something like that. Nothing super fancy, but a solid pick there.
