Detroit Tigers draft board update: 4 pitchers to keep in mind.

The Detroit Tigers will be busy this draft season as they continue building their board. While there's been a lot of movement among most of the updated draft boards across media outlets, things will continue to change as the summer inches closer.

After all, the Detroit Tigers, like all other 30 teams, are going to be spending time doing their due diligence on hundreds of players to ensure that they have their ducks in a row and know which players they think they can draft AND sign to piece together a good draft class.

It's not a simple process to choose players, especially with prep players who have college commitments they can choose to honor. There are a lot of players out there for the Tigers to consider as the team pieces together a draft class.

When it comes to the draft class, the most upside and value comes in the early rounds, but sometimes there is reason to believe that value can be found in a late-round pick or with someone who gets taken later on who has projectable and valuable traits.

Let's dive into some of those players. Especially when it comes to pitchers, let's talk through four different pitchers from the later rounds of this draft class, meaning they will not be picked on Day 1 and are likely to be a middle or back end of Day 2 draft choice. (The way things stand now, at least)
