The Detroit Tigers finalized eight picks in Rounds 3-10 on Monday during the 2024 MLB draft, completing half of the 20-round event.
On Day 1 of the draft Sunday, the Tigers secured three selections: high school shortstop Bryce Rainer in Round 1 (No. 11 overall), high school right-hander Owen Hall in Round 2 (No. 49 overall), and high school left-hander Ethan Schiefelbein in Competitive Balance Round B (No. 72 overall).
“We were pleased with our progress on the first day,” remarked assistant general manager Rob Metzler. “We bolstered our starting pitching prospects early on—players with size, movement, and strong pitch mixes that excite us. Following that, we added a couple of talented infielders, emphasizing middle-of-the-diamond players whose approaches align with our objectives. In terms of our process and outcomes, it was a very positive start.”
Rounds 11-20 are set to commence at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Tigers’ initial pick on Monday was at No. 85 overall in the third round, followed by selections at No. 114 overall in the fourth round, No. 147 overall in the fifth round, No. 176 overall in the sixth round, No. 206 overall in the seventh round, No. 236 overall in the eighth round, No. 266 overall in the ninth round, and No. 296 overall in the tenth round.
