Only one true first baseman –– Adrian Gonzalez in 2000 –– has been selected No. 1 overall since the MLB draft began in 1965.
Spencer Torkelson is about to become the second, ESPN draft analyst Kiley McDaniel said on a conference call Thursday. He's 98% sure Detroit Tigers will select the Arizona State first baseman with the top pick June 10.
"It's hard to imagine them not taking him with what’s coming from their camp, people close to that camp," McDaniel said.
