The Tigers' first-round pick in the 2025 draft was yet another reminder that Scott Harris isn't interested in playing by anyone else's rules. Jordan Yost, a high school shortstop from Florida, was on scouts' radars after a successful showing at MLB's Draft Combine, but was never expected to go in the first round.
He didn't even make his professional debut in 2025 — he had to get his diploma, after all — but he's been on the backfields with a selection of other Tigers minor leaguers.
With the major league camp's roster down to just over 40 now, the Tigers still need to field players to carry them through these last few days of spring training.
