The Tigers would be beefing up their farm system tomorrow night.
The 2025 MLB Draft is just a little under 24 hours away, and the Detroit Tigers have a chance to add some real firepower to their farm systems this season.
As if their main roster isn't dominating enough.
The team has been blessed with two selections in the first 35 picks, the opportunity to ring in the new generation of Motor City baseball.
The team's biggest need is a third baseman and also some more reliable arms in the bullpen, which they can take care of at the trade deadline if not during the draft.
Baseball America, in their most recent MLB mock draft, projects that Detroit will go with shortstop Kayson Cunningham with the 24th pick in the first round.
Even if they do select the top-ranked prospect out of the state of Texas, the shortstop just committed to the Texas Longhorns baseball team, which would make it even harder to officially land Cunningham in the draft, but would surely benefit the Tigers if they decide to take the high schooler and he decides to forgo his college play.
Cunningham currently sits at No. 14 in the MLB Pipeline rankings.
And at No. 34 in the mock draft, the Tigers are projected to go with Alabama Crimson Tide pitcher Riley Quick, a second-team All-SEC pitcher, who went 8-3 with 70 strikeouts in 62 innings pitched and also held a 3.92 earned run average.
The 2025 Major League Baseball Draft will take place on July 13-14 in Cumberland, GA.
