Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris will continue his efforts to stockpile more talented young players in the MLB draft on Sunday.
Last year, the Tigers selected high school outfielder Max Clark with the No. 3 overall pick, and while nothing is for certain, the sweet-swinging lefty is already starting to look the part, starting in center field and leading off for the American League team in the All-Star Futures Game on Saturday.
After finishing second in the AL Central last year, the Tigers hold the No. 11 overall pick in the 2024 draft, and will kick things off by making three selections on Sunday after picking up one compensatory pick (No. 72).
