Losing isn’t fun. However, for many teams in recent years, losing has served their purpose. The Detroit Tigers are among those teams, using a series of miserable seasons to propel them toward a brighter future by way of top draft picks. The plan is already bearing fruit, but things will kick into another gear this year. The Tigers are poised to welcome several more of their top prospects to the major leagues during the 2022 season, including our second ranked Tigers’ prospect, Spencer Torkelson.
Despite going undrafted out of high school and playing for the Arizona State Sun Devils, hardly a baseball powerhouse of a program, Torkelson earned himself national repute as one of the greatest NCAA sluggers of all-time.
