The Detroit Tigers selected Florida Gators commit Jordan Yost on Sunday with the No. 24 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. Yost is the brother of current Gators outfielder Hayden Yost and was ranked as the No. 50 overall prospect in this draft, according to MLB.com’s top 250.

With their first selection in the 2025 MLB Draft, the Detroit Tigers chose 18-year-old shortstop Jordan Yost out of Sickles High School in Florida. A late first-round pick and a thriving MLB roster makes a high-school prospect the logical choice for the Tigers, just as they’ve gone the past two seasons in the first round.
