Tigers select Texas Tech's Jace Jung 12th overall

With the 12th pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Detroit Tigers selected Jace Jung, a second baseman out of Texas Tech University.

If the name Jung is familiar it's because his older brother Josh is a top prospect with the Texas Rangers after being drafted with the No. 8 pick in 2019.

The younger sibling provides more offensive punch thanks to a powerful bat.
