The Tigers take college power hitter Spencer Torkleson as the number one pick in the 2020 amateur draft:

Those numbers are no mirage. Scouts claim that Torkelson is one of the most complete hitters to come through the draft in years. He is lauded by everyone, as evaluators claim that his “double plus power comes easy” and he “controls at-bats extremely well.” FanGraphs really lays it on thick, opining that he has “sublime hitter’s timing, plus bat speed, and above-average barrel control and ball/strike recognition.”

The Tigers could certainly use a young slugger, and a number of other players. Interestingly, they drafted him as a third baseman despite his playing first base in college. An early move to first base is often a sign of poor defense, but the Tigers believe he can play third base.
