After getting through the first five rounds, draft boards start to become pretty useless. Teams draft for raw skills that fit their development strengths if they’re smart, sometimes they’re taking an org guy to save money. Strategies start to play out to their fruition, whereas in the early rounds teams are juggling known quantities and
With the 147th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the Tigers have selected infielder Jack Penney. Entering this season, Penney was expected to be a more highly coveted prospect on draft day, but he stumbled out of the gate as a junior at Notre Dame and is likely being drafted here as a player who
