http://www.minorleagueball.com/2016...-kyle-funkhouser-rhp-university-of-louisville
2016 MLB Draft: Kyle Funkhouser, RHP, University of Louisville.

Kyle Funkhouser’s long wait to hear his name called ended when he was picked in the fourth round by the Tigers. Funkhouser was picked 35th overall in last year’s draft by the Dodgers but gambled by returning for his senior season, turning down significant money for a chance to be chosen higher this year. Even with a strong finish to the season, Funkhouser’s inconsistency appears to have cost him. He might win a national title at Louisville, but financially the decision to come back to school has cost him.

Comments from Perfect Games Brian Sakowski.

Pegged Manning to the #Tigers several weeks ago. 6'6" RHP, plus athlete, 92-96 w/ 6 sink this spring. Huge upside, great pick for Detroit.

Tigers take Kyle Funkhouser, who has fallen quite a bit. Good value there. RHSP, good FB/SL, velo wavered this spring. Comp rounder last yr.

If Funkhouser's development ends up closer to the "high" he's shown, Tigers got a steal in the 4th round.

Tigers take a more traditional #TigersPick with Mark Ecker. Reliever, very strong arm, touches high 90's, quality changeup, breaker lags.

Tigers take Brian Garcia, Miami's closer. Reliever in college, probably a reliever in pro ball, middle relief-type upside, has 4 pitches.

Tigers take Austin Sodders in round 7. Big lefty, collegiate performer, fringe stuff, has some deception, backend type if it all breaks well.

Tigers take Jacob Robson in the 8th from Miss. St. CF, 70 runner, very good glove at premium position, bat to ball skills, lots of SB potential.

Tigers 9th rounder is a familiar name in UVA's Daniel Pinero. Like 6'5" 215, plays SS relatively well for size, has some juice.

Tigers 14th rounder Austin Athmann, from University of Minnesota. Catcher. Outstanding 2016 season, strong dude, has some juice.

Tigers take Michigan's Evan Hill in the 25th. Long, lanky lefty, 4 year SP, quality arsenal, FB mostly 86-89. Mt. Pleasant native.

Tigers take arguably the best player remaining on the board in Drew Mendoza. I had 1st round grade on him, LH stuck at 3B w/ pop project.

Tigers close the draft with Dalton Feeney, huge arm strength RHP from North Dakota. Up to 96-97 at times, heading to #Mizzou

Round 8:
Closest to the majors: Detroit Tigers: Jacob Robson, OF, Mississippi State.
Hey, back to back Mississippi State guys in this spot. That?s fun, right? Robson is one of the fastest runners in the class, and he uses that speed and quality instincts make him a quality defender at all three spots. There?s zero power here, but he should get on base enough to be a fourth outfielder in a relatively short amount of time.
