The Detroit Tigers will be selecting Spencer Torkelson from Arizona State. Baseball America and MLB Pipeline agree as of now in recent mock drafts. We could try to be different here just for kicks, but Torkelson has looked like the guy for this spot since the end of last season.
In a time of extreme uncertainty everywhere in the sport and the world, it makes some sense for the Tigers to steer the ship into a safe harbor. Torkelson is that harbor. He’s an advanced hitter with a real shot to be a premium asset on a contending club.
