Tigers Draft Outlook at #22 | Detroit Tigers News
Description
The Detroit Tigers, holding the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, are in a sweet spot—late first-round position means they’re contenders, but also means more unpredictability. With past successes like Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, and last year’s promising shortstop Jordan Yost, they’re eyeing high-upside bats, especially left-handed hitters. Mock drafts point to a mix of college and high school talent—outfielders like AJ Gracia (with health questions but elite hitting), power-hitting third baseman Bo Lowrance, and elite defensive shortstop Aiden Ruiz. Lefty pitchers Cole Carlon and Carson Bolemon are also in the mix, along with injury-affected wildcard Tyler Spangler. The Tigers’ history of drafting high-potential bats makes this pick a thrilling gamble with big upside.
