MLB draft 2015: How to watch the Tigers' draftees during the College World Series

Major League Baseball's amateur player draft is unique, and not just because the players are so far removed from the major leagues when selected. Of the four major American professional sports, only baseball's amateur draft occurs during the season of play.

While fans of other sports have to wait months to see their new draftees in action, baseball fans can get a glimpse of their team's new talent right away. Many of them might not make their major league debut for three or four years (if ever), but the College World Series offers a great showcase for fans to get acquainted with the newly drafted talent.

The Tigers drafted six players that will be in Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series, which starts on Saturday, June 13th. Second round pick Tyler Alexander is one of three players from the TCU Horned Frogs playing this weekend. Fourth round pick Kade Scivicque is the starting catcher for the LSU Tigers, one of the favorites to win the NCAA Championship. Righthanded pitcher Mike Vinson, the Tigers' 24th round pick, plays for the Florida Gators, but he is currently injured and unlikely to see any playing time. Florida is Las Vegas' pick to win it all. Infielder Daniel Pinero from Virginia was the Tigers' 36th round pick.

Here's how (and when) to watch the newest Tigers play ball this weekend.

You can see the full schedule and bracket here. The College World Series is a double elimination tournament, so the loser of the TCU-LSU matchup is not out of the tournament on Saturday. Teams remain on the same side of the bracket after they lose, so a TCU-LSU rematch would only occur in the semifinals. Florida would only play TCU or LSU in the finals, which is a best-of-three series regardless of whether the two teams remaining have lost a game. The finals of the College World Series start on June 22nd.
