Tigers load up with more college bats on Day 2 of MLB draft. MORE:
And, they hope sooner rather than later.
Detroit went back to Arizona State in the fourth round, taking Torkelson's switch-hitting teammate Gage Workman. Both were drafted by the Tigers as third basemen. So was fifth-rounder Colt Keith out of Biloxi High School in Mississippi. His selection ended Detroit's run on college position players, but the Tigers remained focused solely on hitting talent.
The New York Yankees were one of the teams to raise questions about wrongdoing by the Astros. Coincidentally, Houston took a pitcher from the Bronx at No. 72, hard-throwing Mount Saint Michael Academy right-hander Alex Santos. The defending World Series champion Washington Nationals took college pitchers with four of their six overall picks, taking Oklahoma right-hander Cade Cavalli at No. 22 overall, and then going with two other righties — LSU's Cole Henry , and UCLA's Holden Powell — before selecting San Jacinto College North lefty Mitchell Parker with their final pick.
Cabrera is a patient hitter and outstanding defensive outfielder. He hit .345 with three doubles, two homers, 12 RBIs, 14 runs and six stolen bases for LSU this year. “I’m sure there were some high school guys that we didn’t get to run down that we’d have loved to have seen and maybe it could have been different, for sure," Pleis said. “It just was a tough year, and it was a short draft."
