2020 MLB Mock Draft: Latest Predictions for Spencer Torkelson, Top Prospects

Rick Scuteri/Associated Press

Arizona State first baseman Spencer Torkelson is one of two hitters in competition to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft.

Torkelson and Vanderbilt's Austin Martin are viewed as the best options for the Detroit Tigers, who have the top pick for the second time in three years. If the Tigers go with either hitter, it will mark the fifth time in six years in which a position player was chosen with the first pick.

The Sun Devil is looking to end a 20-year drought for first basemen at the top of the draft, while Martin would be the third left-sided infielder since 2015 to be first off the board.
