The Detroit Tigers surprised no one when they selected high school outfielder Riley Greene with the No. 5 overall pick in this year’s MLB draft. The Tigers had scouted Greene heavily throughout the draft cycle, and were long connected with the Hagerty High School product.
The surprise came two days later, when the Tigers announced that they had agreed to terms with Greene on his first contract before the dang draft was even over.
We likely won’t see Greene in game action for another couple of weeks or so.
