Outfielder Austin Schotts has been added to the 2013 Connecticut Tigers' roster. Schotts was the Detroit Tigers' third round pick in 2012 and spent the majority of the season with the rookie league GCL Tigers. Schotts tore up Gulf Coast League pitching in 2012 (.310 3 HR 21 RBI's.) This earned him a late season promotion to the 2012 Florida State League champion Lakeland Tigers.
Schotts began the 2013 season with the Low Class A West Michigan Whitecaps of the Midwest League. Schotts has struggled so far with the Whitecaps (.192-1-17) in 59 games. Look for Schotts to start in the CT Tigers opener against Lowell on Monday, June 17th. Austin Schotts was rated the Detroit Tigers #5 prospect by Baseball America heading into the 2013 season.
