Detroit Tigers 2025 MLB Draft: Meet the Shortstop Who Skyrocketed up Draft Boards
WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 14 – The Tigers continue their strategy of selecting prep hitters with strong contact and defensive skills up the middle, investing a $3.7 million slot value to sign Yost, a standout from Tampa.
- On Sunday, July 13, 2025, in Atlanta, the Detroit Tigers used their first-round draft pick to select Jordan Yost, a left-handed hitting shortstop who attends Sickles High in Tampa, Florida.
- Yost's late rise as a skilled left-handed hitter with elite contact skills and defensive reliability attracted the Tigers, despite many analysts knowing little about him a year ago.
- The Tigers continued their strategy of choosing high school prospects with up-the-middle talents and have $10,990,800 to spend on 21 draft picks in 2025.
- Yost set a program record with 105 hits and a.362 career batting average, finishing his senior season at.420 with just one strikeout and two errors at shortstop.
- Yost’s selection adds to the Tigers’ growing pool of prep talent and suggests he will likely join their farm system, although it remains uncertain if he will sign immediately.
