When Dan Hasty woke up Sunday morning, he expected to spend the day with his eight-month-old daughter, Josie. His wife, Angelina, was treating COVID-19 patients in the emergency room at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in downtown Grand Rapids. Hasty planned an early morning workout before watching VeggieTales, a Christian television series for children, with his daughter for
Editor’s note: This is the eighth in a weekly series of stories in which Detroit News freelance writer Lynn Henning will rank the top prospects in July’s MLB Draft.

Tie game. Bottom of the ninth. Jose Cisneros on the mound for the Detroit Tigers. Matt Olson at the plate for the Oakland Athletics. Cisneros threw a 97 mph sinker and Olson lifted a high pop up towards center — and it soared right into the sunshine. Tigers shortstop Willi Castro couldn’t get to it,
