Spencer Torkelson ? No. 9 on our Top 100 Prospects list ? was asked earlier this week about slowing the game down. (I believe the question was posed by broadcaster Matt Shepard.) Last year?s first-overall draft pick supplied an answer that exuded both calm and confidence.

?It comes over time,? said the 21-year-old Arizona State product. ?Getting the repetitions in practice, day after day, nothing is new, nothing surprises you. You know going into an at bat, or an inning out in the field, that anything that comes your way, you?re ready for it. You know you?re going to get the job done.?

The Tigers will be counting on Torkelson to get the job done in the not-too-distant future. Detroit?s rebuild won?t bear fruit on the shoulders of its promising pitching alone. The young hitters need to mature as well, and Torkelson ? calm, cool, and collected ? could very well be on the fast track. As much as anyone, he?s the key to the club?s return to relevance in the AL Central.
