The MLB Draft is an annual event where Major League Baseball teams select eligible amateur baseball players. Players are eligible for the draft if they are at least 18 years old and have graduated from high school or are currently enrolled in college and have completed at least one year. The draft order is resolute by the reverse order of the previous season’s standings, with teams that finished with the worst records picking earlier. Compensation picks and competitive balance picks are awarded to teams based on various factors, including revenue sharing and previous draft performance, allowing teams to acquire additional talent.
The Tigers’ next selections in the draft will be in the second round at pick No.62 and in the third round at pick No. 98.
