Detroit Tigers MLB Draft: A look at second-round pick Reynaldo Rivera

The Detroit Tigers outfield is coming into question at the end of this off season with J.D. Martinez having only one year left on his contract.

There is already plenty of talented youth in the Tiger organization, but the 57th-overall pick adds a little bit more.

The Selection

The second round pick for the Detroit Tigers is 19-year-old Reynaldo Rivera from Chipola College in Florida.

Rivera is a big, physical prospect at 6’6″ and 250 pounds. He hits from the left side, but throws with the right.

Though he was drafted as an outfielder, he can also project as a first baseman with his build.
