The Tigers landed Dillon Dingler with the 38th pick in the 2020 Draft, but he was generally considered a first-round talent. Baseball America ranked him as the #27 overall prospect in the draft, while MLB Pipeline ranked him 24th. That’s a pretty good starting point when trying to break onto a Top-100 list, and the fact he plays a premium position only helps matters. Dingler will presumably begin his pro career in High-A West Michigan, and all he really needs to do is show offensive promise while proving he can stick behind the plate. If Dingler makes it to Double-A Erie before July there’s a strong chance he’s a Top-100 prospect in 2022.
