Detroit – As Casey Mize was waiting for the elevator at the hotel the Tigers’ are using to house players during training camp, the door opened and out stepped Spencer Torkelson.
One-One 2018, meet One-One 2020.
“We kind of just touched elbows,” Torkelson said, laughing.
“I just told him congrats, it’s something to really be proud of,” Mize said. “It’s going to change his life forever. I am really happy for him.”
Once they get to know each other a little better, Mize could be a valuable touchstone for Torkelson.
