We’ve seen how MLB Pipeline and Baseball America feel about the Tigers top prospects, but what does Tigers management think about players like Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene and Reese Olson?

Plus, perhaps the biggest surprise of the season is the show’s featured guest, as SeaWolves starter Beau Brieske talks about his rise from 27th round draft pick to one of the franchise’s up-and-coming young pitchers.

Road To Detroit presented by Carhartt Episode 7: The Man From Everywhere Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

Tigers No. 15 prospect Colt Keith appears to be ahead of the learning curve in Lakeland, whether it’s his nearly .300 batting average as a 19-year-old, or his ease when discussing the many places he lived before even graduating from high school. Earlier in the show, Tigers director of amateur scouting Scott Pleis lays out the case for drafting high school pitcher Jackson Jobe third overall, describing the right-hander as a rare find with no obvious holes in his pitch mix.

Road To Detroit presented by Carhartt Episode 6: Tough Actin’ Ty Madden Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Perhaps a memorable commercial featuring John Madden inspired the Tigers to take Big 12 pitcher of the year Ty Madden in the late first round of the 2021 MLB Draft, or maybe it was just his plus-slider. Whatever the reason, the Tigers are fortunate to get the highly regarded right-hander with their 2nd pick of the draft, and Dan Hasty is fortunate to get one-on-one exclusive interviews with Madden, as well as up-and-coming shortstop Gage Workman, who was recently promoted from Lakeland to West Michigan. It’s a jam-packed episode of the Road to Detroit, including a rundown of the week’s highlights. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
