With the 72nd pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Detroit Tigers have selected pitcher Ethan Schiefelbein.
With an unusual amount of current polish for a high schooler, Schiefelbein isn’t what you might expect from an early round prep pitcher. He’s a lefty from Corona High School in California, a not insignificant baseball school on the prep scene, and has a college commitment to play at UCLA. His reputation is built on the fact that he has a remarkably smooth pitching motion for someone so young, advanced control, and a track record of good performance on the showcase circuit.
