Summary
Detroit Tigers snagged reliever Jett Johnston in the 13th round of the MLB draft—pick 396—after he dominated Auburn’s bullpen with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings. A transfer from Texas A&M, Johnston shifted roles, playing outfield and first base before focusing on pitching full-time. He joins six other Tigers draft picks, including five pitchers, signaling a bold push to build a future rotation and bullpen. With the Tigers loading up on arms, Johnston’s potential could be key to their long-term success. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
