After going number one and being such a prolific power hitter in college, it's easy to understand the po sibility that Torkelson might have been pre sing in light of the goose egg. Now that it's out of the way, he can settle in.Torkelson, 21, hit .337/.463/.729 with 33 doubles, 54 homers Brandon Pirri Men Jersey and 130 RBI in 129 career games at Arizona State.
