Spencer Torkelson is a Detroit Tiger. That sentence was exciting enough when he was drafted, but now it’s real. The man called Tork is debuting for the Detroit Tigers on Opening Day. The future is here.
The last time there was this much excitement around a debut there was a trio of top prospects who got the call all at once. The next time will be when Riley Greene is healed and ready to go. For now, it’s the former first overall pick who did nothing but hit during Spring Training to earn his spot on the roster.
