## Resource

The Detroit Tigers’ draft history is a blueprint for building champions, from 1984 World Series glory to 2000s contenders, thanks to savvy picks who became stars—or even late-round steals who turned into legends. Hall of Famer Jack Morris and “Sweet Lou” Whitaker, both fifth-round gems, anchored eras; Justin Verlander, the 2004 2 pick, redefined excellence with Cy Young and MVP trophies; and current phenom Riley Greene, the 2019 5 pick, is already rewriting the script. This list proves the Tigers’ draft strategy isn’t just about early picks—it’s about spotting talent, developing it, and building a legacy one draft pick at a time.
