The Detroit Tigers have a longstanding tradition of selecting hard-throwing right-handed pitchers in the MLB draft. Looking back over the last 15 years, the Tigers have selected right-handed pitchers with their first pick 10 times. Among them are Cy Young winners Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello. More recently, guys like Beau Burrows, Matt Manning, and Alex Faedo have joined the organization.
It appears they will be sticking with the known model this year, as almost all predictions point to the Tigers selecting RHP Casey Mize with their first round draft pick in June.
