Since Spencer Torkelson was playing baseball before he can remember playing baseball, why not let him join theDetroit Tigers whenever the season starts? After all, there won’t likely be any minor leagues, not in this strange and vacant year of coronavirus. And is he ready? Well, if the phrase “Born Ready” were ever to be applied literally, it might be to him. Torkelson, now 20, was walking around the house with a Wiffle ball when he was 2 years old.
