Development of the next wave of players doesn’t stop for the MLB postseason. The Arizona Fall League got underway this week, and the Detroit Tigers have several of their top hitting prospects on hand to get extra reps in October with the Scottsdale Scorpions.
The Tigers top prospect playing for the Scorpions is catcher Thayron Liranzo. The switch-hitting thumper was the lead piece the Tigers received from the Los Angeles Dodgers for Jack Flaherty back in July. Liranzo turned 21 in July, but he already has a strong 6’2” frame that should hold up to the rigors of the position.
