The 2023 MLB Draft is coming up. What do the experts think the Tigers will do at No. 3?

The 2023 MLB Draft is less than a month away now. The Detroit Tigers will have the No. 3 overall pick on July 9. They are slated to land a pretty good player no matter who they pick.

There really isn't a consensus name the Tigers will take. A lot of it depends on what happens with picks 1 and 2. They could end up with a college bat, one of the top high school bats, or the top college pitcher.

It's going to be an interesting night for the Detroit Tigers. Let's see what the experts have to say. We've gathered four mock drafts to see what people think the Tigers will do on draft night as of June 13. Let's get started with a mock draft from MLB Pipeline.

Jonathan Mayo, MLB Pipeline— OF Wyatt Langford, Florida

Mayo has the Tigers selecting Florida OF Wyatt Langford at No. 3 overall. He seems to the player Tigers fans want the most, so most fans would be happy if this is how the cards fell on draft night.

Mayo says that most of what he's heard is that the Tigers want the most advanced college bat available, so Langford would be a perfect fit. Some scouts like him more than LSU OF Dylan Crews, who has been the consensus top pick for most of this draft cycle.

If the Tigers ended up with Wyatt Langford, it would hard to complain. He's a great prospect and would bring an impact bat to the Tigers' farm system.
