I am off about $10K somewhere, but this is mostly correct; they spent over 104.8% of their poolimage.png.a63a3086cf93b96538acd2c6e4ef10c1.png

 

BA had Oliveto at 2,459,500. I can double check later, but something else is off between our calcs as well (only 200 dollars off).

Crazy still. River Hamilton, Grinsell and Dumesnil were all 2nd round talents. Jacobs could have gone in the first for a while there. Thats some good rounded depth. I like that they targeted a lot of HS's this draft too. 

 

Olivito was ranked 50th by ESPN and 59th by Fangraphs. Yost was ranked 36th by Fangraphs. I like Fangraphs a lot. They seem to be more in tune with things if you ask me. Especially with Saberhager and his write ups.

 

https://tigersmlreport.com/2025/07/19/some-thoughts-on-the-2025-detroit-tigers-draft-class/ is a great article if you got time to read. They point out that the pitchers we took have some good upside but have one or two things that could use some fixing. I'm so glad our pitching department has changed so much over the years. We used to be trash at developing pitchers. Now I think Fetter has instilled a great program throughout the organization. Dude better get a raise this year....... He's probably the best coach the Tigers have.

One of the rare times that a team won't sign someone in the top 10 rounds. To make it a little more funny, at least to me is he keeps retweeting things about how this is a huge blow to the Pirates draft. My guess is they may have lowballed him and he said ok well I will just go to college and bet on myself.

NIL makes that an easier choice

I would agree but the highest paid baseball player from an NIL standpoint would have to play 8 years to get the amount of money he would have gotten in the 2nd round (1.9 million).

Someone's revised rankings, forgot whom's, put Dumesnil as the 9th overall ranked Tiger prospect, the highest on their list from this year's draft.  That is crazy to get your best prospect right off the bat in such a late round.

Yea, I dread the day when I hear LA has lured him away.  I hope he's loyal beyond all reason.

Ethan Rogers, LHP, sr., Lone Jack

College commitment: Wichita State

Drafted: Round 18, Pick 549

Team: Detroit Tigers

The MLB Draft is truly a crapshoot. While there were rumblings late in the draft process that at least one team was considering taking Rogers in the early rounds, he and his mid-90s fastball ultimately ended up going to the Tigers in round 18.

Rogers went 8-1 this season with a 0.53 ERA for the Mules, who went 29-5. The southpaw struck out 118 batters in 52.2 innings and allowed only 10 hits, 12 runs (4 earned) and walked 33. Not to be overlooked, He also batted .500 (53-for-106) and got on base at a .594 clip with a 1.169 OPS. He scored 45 runs, drove in 30 and stole 28 bases.

Woulda been nice to get him for sure. 

Lone Jack is the name of the high school?  It might make for a decent nickname for him.

I don’t know the signing bonus rules.  But based on this spreadsheet, teams are allowed to offer up to $150K to picks after the 10th round without it hitting the cumulative pool “cap”?  And as we see with the overages above and beyond $150K to Hamilton and Wimpelberg, those count against the pool?

Malachi and Dumesnil were both signed for a couple thou below slot.  Seems odd.  How do you justify for example slot is say $650,000 but we are going to give you $648,000?

Anybody got a pronunciation guide on Dumesnil? Is it Do-mez-nill?  Do-mess-nill?  Dooms-nill?

PS: Reighbourne? 

I’ll learn when he hits West Michigan.
