Just over a year ago, the Detroit Tigers put together one of the most well-regarded drafts in the whole of Major League Baseball. Their 2020 class consisted of six players, and the final to be selected was 3B/RHP Colt Keith. Now a dedicated third baseman, he’s playing his first full season of professional ball with the organization as a member of the Lakeland Flying Tigers.
Last November, I was granted the opportunity to talk to Keith. Originally, the interview was envisioned as the basis for a full-length feature to be run in March with our regularly scheduled preseason prospect content.
