The 2025 MLB Draft, scheduled for July 11-12, will see the Detroit Tigers picking 22nd, with a $4,082,700 slot value. Baseball America projects them to select high school shortstop Aiden Ruiz, noted for his excellent defense and speed, though his power potential is limited. Ruiz’s success with Team USA’s U18 National Team adds to his appeal, fitting Detroit’s trend of prioritizing contact hitters with defensive skills. While the draft landscape may shift before July, Ruiz aligns well with the Tigers’ strategic focus.
