Tigers Draft Spencer Torkelson # 1

 

[tomdalton22]

"Arizona State first baseman Spencer Torkelson made history when the Detroit Tigers selected him with the first pick in the 2020 MLB draft on Wednesday, becoming the first college first baseman and the first right-handed-hitting first baseman ever selected with the first overall pick."

so...the first college RH 1B drafted 1st overall ever?? So, most teams don't value RH 1B??

I watched it on the MLB Network and the Tigers drafted Torkelson as a 3rd Baseman.
He can play both positions and LF.

 

[Mitchrapp]

So since there will be a ST I suspect Tork could get some time there.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Looked like he play OF almost as much as 1B. I also heard weeks ago that his defense has greatly improved.

ESPN also said "He certainly has the athleticism for the Tigers to try him at 3B. It's not out of the question."

Forget Spencer Torkelson. Here's who Detroit Tigers could take in Round 2.

I'm not expecting them to draft smart in the rounds 2 - 5.
