The Tigers entered the draft with the fifth-best farm system in baseball, and it's only gotten better since. They took Arizona State slugger Spencer Torkelson No. 1 overall and Ohio State catcher Dillon Dingler with the first pick in round two, two potential cornerstones. 

They also drafted LF Daniel Cabrera, SS Trei Cruz and 3B Gage Workman.
