As the 2018 MLB draft approached, the Detroit Tigers had a list of five prospects to choose from with the No. 1 overall pick.

Florida right-handed pitcher Brady Singer made the list, probably as the fourth or fifth man in the mix, ESPN draft analyst Kiley McDaniel said Tuesday. Of course, the Tigers went with Auburn righty Casey Mize, who is now at Fifth Third Field in Toledo awaiting a call to pitch in the big leagues.
