2025 MLB Draft Thread July 13 - 14 Tigers draft Prep Shortstop Jordan Yost

Im not very excited about these picks. Again drafting for years down the road. Idk hopefully i am wrong.

Tigers take Yost and Oliveto

I like both players, but it's fascinating that these two and the most-rumored prep hitter tied to Detroit that they didn't take (Coy James, who had a tough summer) were all missing strong 2024 summer performances.

Jordan Yost and Michael Oliveto were the only two prep position players in the first-round mix who weren't in the major national events on the summer circuit, thus creating a lot of uncertainty about how to project them.

The Tigers are right to assume this could create a potential quick gain in value if Yost and Oliveto can perform early in their pro careers, but I don't remember seeing a team double down on lack of summer exposure in the early rounds.
 
Yost hit .412/.548/.569/1.117 with two doubles, a triple, four home runs and 26 RBI in 35 games during his senior season at Sickles High School. In 123 high school games, the 18-year-old hit .360 (105-for-292) with nine doubles, four triples, four home runs and 65 RBI. Over his four years at Sickles, he drew 52 walks compared to just 10 strikeouts, including 20 walks to just one strikeout in his senior year.

The key is sign ability. Will the college commits sign ?

Losing that draft dollars has to hurt. But the article said front office people could lose their Jobs if they don’t sign.

That’s crazy. I guess you better know Then.
