With the 49th pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the Tigers have selected right handed pitcher Owen Hall.
An 18-year-old pitcher from Edmond North High School in Oklahoma, there wasn't much pre-draft chatter about Hall in this range. That doesn’t make him a bad pick; instead, it’s a reflection of how the Tigers see his skills fitting into their development program. Hall is committed to play at Vanderbilt, which is always a signal of both a talented young pitcher and a signability concern, but the team would not have selected him in the second round without a number in mind and a handshake agreement in place.
