By Michael Luciano
The MLB Draft, normally a marathon that features over 1,000 picks, has been severely shortened due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the 2020 version will consist of just five rounds in total. But that won't stop fans from tuning in to see who their team selects.

The Detroit Tigers have the No. 1 pick and are expected to use that selection on Arizona State first baseman Spencer Torkelson. The slugging first baseman has hit .337 with 54 home runs in 129 college games, leading many to believe he's the perfect choice to succeed Miguel Cabrera in Detroit.
Spencer Torkelson broke Barry Bonds' freshman HR record at ASU and is seen as having as much offensive upside as any draft prospect since Bryce Harper

The Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins have the next two picks, and those two are expected to add Vanderbilt outfielder/third baseman Austin Martin and Texas A&M starting pitcher Asa Lacy.
College players like New Mexico State's Nick Gonzales and Arkansas' Heston Kjerstad could end up picked in the top half of the first round, as could high school prospects like outfielders Robert Hassell III and Zac Veen.
Even if the draft will be heavily cut down as compared to past seasons, that doesn't change the fact that hundreds of star prospects will see their lifelong dream realized over the next two days.
