Tigers invite 22 players, including top prospect, to spring training

The Detroit Tigers have invited 22 non-roster players to spring training, including 2017 first-round pick Alex Faedo.

The team released the list on Tuesday.

Faedo has yet to pitch in a minor-league game for the Tigers but is considered one of the team's top prospects.

In addition to Faedo, six other pitchers were invited: right-handers Victor Alcantara, Enrique Burgos, Kevin Comer, Alex Faedo, Mark Montgomery and Paul Voelker; and left-hander Travis Wood.

Derek Norris, Brayan Pena, Arvicent Perez and Jake Rogers will serve as catchers along with James McCann and John Hicks, who are on the 40-man roster.
