Hmmmm.

https://www.mlb.com/news/farm-system-rankings-2022-midseason?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Farm rankings, Tigers come in at 22 sandwiched between KC and Minnesota with WS coming in at 26 and Cleveland coming in 3rd. "Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson are off prospect lists, yet the Tigers continue their tradition of having first-rounders in the Top 100 with Jobe (2021) and Jung (2022). Right-handers Wilmer Flores and Ty Madden give the club two more Top-100-adjacent talents on the mound. But as a whole, this group lacks the ceiling it had in the preseason when Greene and Torkelson looked like potential stars, and it isn’t deep enough to overcome that and push into the Top 20."

Lets check in with our top 10 draftees. SSS obviously. Hitters:AVG/OBP/OPS Jung .216/.349/.624 Graham .191/.304/.559 Gold .154/.400/.554 Serretti .313/.593/1.155 Stephenson .235/.316/.551 Jenkins .269/.406/.829 Pitchers: Melton DNP Miller 7.2 ERA 2 starts 5IP Michael Pitched at 3 levels already. He will be 25 soon. has a 27.00 ERA at WM with 1 IP.

Interesting story about Wockenfuss and a kid after he retired.

Parker with the HR to put Erie on top. https://twitter.com/tigersMLreport/status/1561472934711115777?t=8DG5Yn4ga76zpCpciisHww&s=19

Madden rolling in Erie 4IP 1H 4K (I am sure I just jinxed him too)

My personal guess is he has long covid and they are having a hard time figuring out what is going on.

Not listed is Daz had 5k's 😬

Erie playing two today, Dingler with a HR to tie it up 1-1

I was bored and wanted to check out some of the DSL Tigers and obviously statline hunting is not the best way to evaluate prospects but Reylin Perez from this years international signings is raking in the DSL (high babip as well). Below is the only video I could find of him.

If I had to guess I think it has to do with a rule in which the tigers don't let pitchers have more than 25 or 30 pitches in an inning which is why he was taken out.

Being 6'5" helps 😂

Pipeline updated with new draftees. Top 5: 1. Jackson Jobe, RHP (41st in MLB) 2. Jace Jung, 2B (74th in MLB) 3. Wilmer Flores, RHP 4. Ty Madden, RHP 5. Peyton Graham, SS Surprise for me in the inclusion of Elvis Alvarado who was a minor league Rule 5 pickup who is a converted OF and the dropping of Santana to 11th even with the solid showing he has had this season. https://www.mlb.com/news/tigers-top-30-prospects-2022-midseason-rerank?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage

Jung certainly has some good looking bat speed and Crouch with some heads up base running

I'm right there with you but I temper my expectations with the fact he can't hit lefties right now so he definitely has something he needs to work on but I can't help to think that between him, Perez, Keith, and Lipcius that the poaching we did from the Dodgers is starting to bear some fruit.

Keith out for the season which we kind of already knew. Keith (right shoulder) out for Minor League season (Aug. 9) No. 11 prospect Colt Keith will not return this regular season but could be ready for the Arizona Fall League, according to vice president of player development Ryan Garko

Very cool idea by the Mets also very interesting song selection by Nimmo and McNeil.

It's easy to forget he is 22 because it feels like he has been here forever. He is a big guy so I think sometimes it takes a little more time to figure out your body. I mean to put it in context he would have been drafted either this year or the year before had he went to college. If we take out the May start in which he was getting used to the league from June 1st he has a wRC+ 128 .841 OPS with a .287 AVG and a 14.9% K rate along with an 11.2% walk rate. He isn't Carpenter level yet but he's 22 and doing that at AA. That being said it isn't all sunshine and roses. He needs to work on hitting lefties. He is hitting a .540 OPS against them which you just can't do if you want to make it to the bigs.
