Detroit — Tigers rookie Spencer Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, made a good first impression Saturday on the second day of Summer Camp at Comerica Park.

Torkelson, donning a No. 73 practice jersey, took the field and after some light stretching, got in the batting cage for the first time in his future home. Torkelson signed his contract for $8.4 million this week, which included a record-setting signing bonus.
