Oregon's own Maddox Molony has been chosen by the Detroit Tigers in the sixth round of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft. The shortstop was a notable selection for the club.
The Detroit Tigers have added infielder Maddox Molony to their organizational depth, selecting him in the sixth round of the 2026 MLB Draft. Molony, who hails from Oregon, plays shortstop and brings a new skillset to the Tigers' minor league system.
His selection marks a significant step in his professional baseball aspirations. As a sixth-round pick, Molony is expected to begin his journey through the Tigers' minor league affiliates, working towards a potential call-up to the major league roster.
The Tigers are building for the future, and adding a local talent like Molony in the middle rounds is a smart, low-risk, high-reward move.
