Welcome to the pros, kid.

Jordan Yost's 98.7 mph max EV was one of the lowest at the '25 draft combine, but he already looks stronger (w/ room to grow) + yesterday's HR had a 102.1 EV. Yost appears to have added a short stride to his swing after not really having one in HS. That could unlock more pop as well.
 
Bless You Boys 2026 Detroit Tigers prospects #6: SS Jordan Yost.
The slick fielding prep shortstop’s weakness on draft day was his power potential, but he’s showing gains in camp.

We don’t generally go out of order with our spring prospect reports, but the timing is too good for Jordan Yost. The Detroit Tigers first round pick last summer stepped to the plate for his first at-bat as a professional on Sunday afternoon and made a little magic. The Tampa native had friends and family in attendance as he dug in with the bases loaded and no outs, trying to just hit something to the outfield. He did, crunching a grand slam to right field on a 1-0, 95 mph fastball from a Triple-A level pitcher. Welcome to pro ball.

The Detroit Tigers Might Have Some Arms.
We are somewhere between one and two weeks into the 2026 minor-league season. It’s far too early to make any sweeping declarations. But this 2025 Detroit Tigers draft class looks good.
A couple of names to keep an eye on are Malachi Witherspoon and Ben Jacobs

Malachi Witherspoon’s 2nd Low-A Start:Top Velo: 97.9 MPH9 swings and misses7 called strikes.
 
FROM THE DOMINICAN TO DETROIT.

Ben Jacobs could be leading a Tigers farm arm rebound, and Grayson Grinsell is on his heels.
Two early-round college picks from last July's Tigers draft are showing how much Detroit's big-league rotation could be changing soon, with Malachi Witherspoon primed to join them.

Aiden Ruiz feels like a Tigers draft pick — which is why Detroit’s decision is so interesting.
Aiden Ruiz fits everything Detroit has prioritized recently, but could this draft could be the moment the Tigers pivot toward pitching upside?
