Prospect Jordan Yost Surpasses All Expectations in Explosive Show!
Prospect Jordan Yost, 19, made the most of his experience with the Tigers on Sunday, walloping a grand slam in his only at-bat against the Yankees.
Tampa, Fla. — Among the minor-league campers joining the Tigers as extra players for Sunday's spring training game against the New York Yankees was 2025 first-round pick Jordan Yost. The 19-year-old Yost made the most of the experience, for sure.
He swatted a grand slam home run in his only at-bat in the eighth inning in a 12-1 Tigers victory marred by a few rain delays. With no one out, Yost blasted a 1-0 pitch from Yankees righthander Zach Messinger to right to make it 11-0. "I told him, 'That didn't suck,' Tigers manager AJ Hinch said.
"Really cool to see. I joked with him that the only people left after the second rain delay would be his pass list. Glad they waited.
That was a really cool moment. He will go home happy. " Yost was selected No.
