Perhaps a memorable commercial featuring John Madden inspired the Tigers to take Big 12 pitcher of the year Ty Madden in the late first round of the 2021 MLB Draft, or maybe it was just his plus-slider. Whatever the reason, the Tigers are fortunate to get the highly regarded right-hander with their 2nd pick of the draft, and Dan Hasty is fortunate to get one-on-one exclusive interviews with Madden, as well as up-and-coming shortstop Gage Workman, who was recently promoted from Lakeland to West Michigan. It’s a jam-packed episode of the Road to Detroit, including a rundown of the week’s highlights.
