The Tigers are interested in a hard-throwing righty from the SEC? Noooo...
When it comes to MLB draft season, few combinations go together as well as the Detroit Tigers and hard-throwing pitchers from the Southeastern Conference (SEC). From Drew VerHagen to Jonathon Crawford to Spencer Turnbull -- not to mention a number of lower-round picks scattered throughout the years -- the Tigers love themselves a big, burly pitcher with a bigger fastball.
While none of those picks have come as high as ninth overall, their position in this year's MLB draft, the Tigers could still find themselves a pitcher of that ilk in Mississippi State righthander Dakota Hudson.
