Dillon Dingler may be the Tigers’ catcher of the future

Of the Detroit Tigers' recent successes in turning their fortunes around, certainly the most crucial was hitting on their high first-round draft picks. Sure, none of the group is exactly tearing it up at the major league level just yet, but by any standards, the organization didn’t blow any of its four top ten picks from 2016-2020. Historically, that’s not as easy to do as you might expect, even with a pair of first overall selections in the mix. As a result, and with some nice late-round additions and a big ninth-round find of Tarik Skubal in 2018, the organization now has a very nice core of young talent to build on.
