Recap: Complete list of every pick from Day 2 of MLB draft

The Detroit News

The Detroit Tigers' first selection Wednesday was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Their first selection Thursday holds a little more mystery.

The Tigers made the anticipated move with the No. 1 overall pick Wednesday night, selecting Arizona State slugger Spencer Torkelson with the hope, undoubtedly, he eventually will become the centerpiece in the heart of the Detroit order.

Day 2 of the Major League Baseball draft begins at 5 p.m. Thursday.

What did the Tigers do for an encore? They used all five of their Day 2 selections on position players and bats. 

Check out a complete list of every pick from Rounds 2-5 of the MLB draft below.

Second round

38. Detroit Tigers: Dillon Dingler, C, Ohio State

The Tigers opted for another college bat with their first pick in the second round. Dingler is an athletic defender who has ideal size (6-foot-3, 222 pounds) and a strong throwing arm. He also has solid power at the plate. He hit .291 as a sophomore and had a .340/.404/.760 slash line in 13 games this year. Dingler was projected by some to be a first-round pick and was ranked No. 24 on MLB Pipeline’s list of top draft prospects.

45. San Diego Padres: Owen Caissie, OF, Notre Dame Catholic (Ontario)

Caissie, a University of Michigan commit, is one of the top prep players in Canada. He has legit pop as a left-handed hitter and can drive the ball to all fields. He can also cover a lot of ground in the outfield. Caissie, 17, was ranked the No. 75 draft prospect by MLB Pipeline.

46. Colorado Rockies: Chris McMahon, RHP, Miami

He played a vital role in the Wolverines reaching the College World Series in 2019 as a bullpen weapon. Criswell posted a 10-4 record with a 2.88 ERA and 174 strikeouts in 162⅓ innings during his three years in Ann Arbor.

COMPETITIVE BALANCE ROUND B

61. Miami Marlins: Kyle Nicolas, RHP, Ball State

62. Detroit Tigers: Daniel Cabrera, OF, LSU

Detroit continued its run on college hitters by taking Cabrera, who was ranked the No. 38 draft prospect by MLB Pipeline. He was a steady and productive performer for the Tigers and is someone who can hit for average and power. He had a .305 batting average in 140 career games while whacking 33 doubles, smashing 22 home runs and driving in 116 runs. Cabrera also played both corner outfield spots during his time at LSU.

Third round

Another pick, another college position player for the Tigers. A switch-hitter, Cruz had a .296/.406/.484 slash line with 16 home runs and 97 RBIs for his career. He played at both middle infield spots for the Owls, but his best fit might be at second base. Cruz also has quite the baseball pedigree considering his father, Jose Jr., grandfather Jose and great-uncles Hector and Tommy all played in the big leagues.

74. Baltimore Orioles: Anthony Servideo, SS, Ole Miss

75. Miami Marlins: Zach McCambley, RHP, Coastal Carolina

76. Kansas City Royals: Tyler Gentry, OF, Alabama

86. Texas Rangers: Tekoah Roby, RHP, Pine Forest (Fla.) High

87. Philadelphia Phillies: Casey Martin, SS, Arkansas

88. Chicago Cubs: Jordan Nwogu, OF, Michigan

The Ann Arbor native was a two-sport star at Pioneer and opted to pursue baseball over football in college. Nwogu was Michigan’s best offensive player during its run to the College World Series in 2019, finishing that year with a team-high .557 slugging average and .435 on-base percentage. He has good speed, is an aggressive base runner and is a reliable hitter who hit .334 with 20 home runs in 125 career games.

89. Boston Red Sox: Blaze Jordan, 3B, DeSoto Central (Miss.) High

90. Arizona Diamondbacks: Liam Norris, LHP, Green Hope (N.C.) High

91. New York Mets: Anthony Walters, SS, San Diego State

92. Milwaukee Brewers: Zavier Warren, C, Central Michigan

The Birmingham Groves product is a versatile utility player who played catcher, shortstop, third base and first base for the Chippewas. Not to mention he’s also a switch-hitter who hit .363 with a .498 on-base percentage and set a single-season program record with 22 doubles in 2019. He’s the first position player from Central Michigan to get taken in the first five rounds since 1980.

93. St. Louis Cardinals: Levi Prater, LHP, Oklahoma

94. Washington Nationals: Holden Powell, RHP, UCLA

95. Cleveland Indians: Petey Halpin, OF, Mira Costa (Calif.) High

96. Tampa Bay Rays: Hunter Barnhart, RHP, St. Joseph (Calif.) High

97. Atlanta Braves: Jesse Franklin, OF, Michigan

Franklin provided some pop in the middle of Michigan’s lineup his first two years before an injury sidelined him for the shortened 2020 season. He made an immediate impact as a freshman and led the Wolverines with 10 home runs and .588 slugging percentage. While his numbers dipped as a sophomore, he still was a power threat who produced a .287 batting average, 102 RBIs and 23 home runs in 115 career games.

98. Oakland Athletics: Michael Guldberg, OF, Georgia Tech

99. New York Yankees: Trevor Hauver, 2B, Arizona State

100. Los Angeles Dodgers: Jake Vogel, OF, Huntington Beach (Calif.) High

101. Houston Astros: Tyler Brown, RHP, Vanderbilt

Fourth round

102. Detroit Tigers: Gage Workman, 3B, Arizona State

After taking Spencer Torkelson in the first round, the Tigers grabbed another member of the Sun Devils’ loaded infield platoon. Workman was a starting infielder for two-plus years and played at short in the Cape Cod League last summer. He’s a strong switch-hitter who had 23 extra-base hits and a .528 slugging percentage in 2019, but he needs to do a better job of working counts (138 career strikeouts to 48 walks).

103. Baltimore Orioles: Coby Mayo, 3B, Stoneman Douglas (Fla.) High

104. Miami Marlins: Jake Eder, LHP, Vanderbilt

105. Kansas City Royals: Christian Chamberlain, LHP, Oregon State

106. Toronto Blue Jays: Nick Frasso, RHP, Loyola Marymount University

109. San Diego Padres: Levi Thomas, RHP, Troy University

110. Colorado Rockies: Case Williams, RHP, Douglas County (Colo.) High

111. Los Angeles Angels: Werner Blakely, SS, Detroit Edison

Blakely, an Auburn commit, hit .467 with 20 extra-base hits and 34 RBIs last season. He has plenty of potential and athleticism and is likely to stick at short. The hope is he’ll be able to refine his offensive game and continue to add strength to his 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame.

112. Chicago White Sox: Kade Mechals, RHP, Grand Canyon University

113. Cincinnati Reds: Mac Wainwright, OF, St. Edward (Ohio) High

Fifth round 

132. Detroit Tigers: Colt Keith, SS/3B, Biloxi (Miss.) High

With their final pick of the draft, the Tigers took their first prep player and used all their selections on position players. Keith, a left-handed hitter, earned Gatorade’s baseball player of the year award for the state of Mississippi last spring after batting .527 with eight home runs, 49 RBIs and a .659 on-base percentage. He's also a right-handed pitcher who posted a 6-0 record with five saves, a 1.47 ERA and 74 strikeouts in 38 innings in 2019. Keith is an Arizona State commit and was ranked the No. 87 draft prospect by MLB Pipeline.

133. Baltimore Orioles: Carter Baumler, RHP, Dowling Catholic (Iowa) High

134. Miami Marlins: Kyle Hurt, RHP, USC

135. Kansas City Royals: Will Klein, RHP, Eastern Illinois

138. Pittsburgh Pirates: Logan Hofmann, RHP, Northwestern State

139. San Diego Padres: Jagger Haynes, LHP, West Columbus (N.C.) High

140. Colorado Rockies: Jack Blomgren, SS, Michigan

The fourth Wolverine selected in the draft, Blomgren was a three-year starter and was named to the College World Series All-Tournament team in 2019. He’s a sure-handed shortstop who has good instincts and range that help him reach grounders. At the plate, he’s a career .276 hitter who has limited power (18 doubles and five home runs in 460 at-bats).

141. Los Angeles Angels: Adam Seminaris, LHP, Long Beach State
