Height/Weight: 6'1/220
Position: 1B/3B/DH
Team: Detroit TigersDrafted: Round 1, Pick 1, 2020 MLB Draft
Top Card: 2020 Bowman Draft Baseball
Base Auto Price (Subject to Change) - $600-$1000
2020 Stats: Did not play.
Torkelson was the best hitter in college baseball at Arizona State University. He broke Barry Bonds freshman HR record. The combination of contact and power tools made him pretty much a lock to go one overall in the draft. In addition to his on field skills, Spencer has great makeup and leadership skills.
Conclusion: Torkelson possesses 80 grade power with the ability to make contact. The high tool grades that he possesses has caused his card prices to skyrocket upon the release of 2020 Bowman Draft. My thought is that these prices are appropriate despite the delay of his pro debut. I expect him to be one of the better power hitters in baseball and move quickly through the minors. When a player's hitting ability is this good, the defensive ability does not matter and will not impact card prices. Due to the high price of his 1st Bowman Auto, non-auto cards may have to be explored if looking for affordable options.
