Detroit Tigers prospect Jackson Jobe 'counting down the days' until mini-camp in Lakeland

Jackson Jobe is ready to get started.

Last year's No. 3 overall pick visited the Detroit Tigers' spring training facility for six weeks after the July draft, throwing bullpens while he was prohibited from facing live hitters. He roomed with his best friend — and the Tigers' second-round pick — Izaac Pacheco. The 19-year-old prospects plan to climb the organization's hierarchy together.
