2021 MLB Draft Tigers Picks: Draft Jackson Jobe 1.3.

Draft a freaking player we won?t see until 2024 or 25. Just a stupid pick.

As a rule I'm not a huge fan of drafting HS players that high......but all GM's need to plan for the future years as well.

You can hate AA all you want, but I don't believe this is a bad pick. We have bats coming and money to spend (even with Miggy's terrible contract). Grabbing a super talented kid that high and then doubling down on a more MLB ready prospect later in the 1st is a solid move....IMO.
 
Favorable low arm slot from Jobe. That's a plus. Serious stride length. Looks rather relaxed and under control, too.

Tigers getting a lot of criticism for the pick of Jobe with all the HS SS's available.

High school position players seem like a big risk to me. There is a LONG way to go for a 17-19 year old kid to be a big league ready bat/defender.

Personally, I like the Jobe pick. Is seems like, at the very least, he could be a plus plus pen guy.....possible future closer. You can succeed in the pen at the MLB level with two plus pitches, which he seemingly has.

The way the bullpen looked yesterday, I highly doubt that kid could have done any worse. Can we finally end the Joe Jimenez experiment please!

From what I read, Jobe has 3 plus pitches (graded 70 slider, 60 fastball, 60 change). From what I read, Madden is the guy with 2 pitches (grades 60 fastball & 60 slider). Given his age (21) he could be a BP arm in the near future.

Locked On Detroit Tigers Podcast: Jackson Jobe, Ty Madden, and the Detroit Tigers MLB Draft. 48 minutes.

What a day! The Detroit Tigers have officially added Jackson Jobe and Ty Madden to the organization via the MLB Draft. A very controversial pick at the top. We discuss all things Tigers draft. Your full and complete breakdown.
 
Pacheco is a solid pick..athletic left handed power bat..will quickly transition to 3B or an OF corner..I'm sure they will play him some at SS..

Seemingly lots of talk about the Detroit Tigers taking high-school RHP Jackson Jobe in the draft. If you?re curious about the history of prep righties taken in the top 3, here you go:

The single most comforting aspect to this draft for me..I know who I can trust in player development..his name is Chris Fetter..
