Born: May 21, in St. Charles, MO. He had edged ahead of Shelby Miller Texas and Zack Wheeler Georgia as the top high school righthander in the draft, and was gaining ground on Kyle Gibson as the best pitching prospect in Missouri.

Whether his draft position will reflect that status remains to be seen, as he's advised by the Scott Boras Corp. Not throwing too many curveballs was one of the things that my dad had looked into, and he decided it would be a better idea for me to hold off on throwing any kind of breaking pitch for a while and let my arm develop naturally.

And that benefited me in the long run by keeping my arm as healthy as possible. What did you learn from him? Turner: The biggest thing I learned from him was how to go about your business on the mound from a mental aspect. He also taught me how to throw a curveball. I hadn't thrown a ton of them and it was pretty far behind my fastball in terms of location and how consistent it was.

He really helped me along with that and got it to the point where it was today. Turner: A lot of things -- I was excited, but at the same time I was nervous and I didn't know what was going to happen. With the baseball Draft, especially for a high school player, it is so unpredictable, so we didn't really know if I was going to get drafted high enough that I would bypass college or end up at North Carolina.

I just decided to let the chips fall where they may and then decide after that, see how everything shook out and then take a step back, look at both options and see what was best for me. When I was younger, that was every kid's dream -- to be drafted in the Major League Baseball Draft, much less the first round, so it was definitely a dream come true. There were a lot of things going through my mind, but when the Tigers picked me there was a lot of excitement.

Turner: It was definitely a weird feeling at first to know you have a certain amount of money from the Tigers. It was a good feeling both ways, without going to college to have some financial security, but at the same time you also feel like the Tigers really made a commitment to you to develop you and make you the best player you can be. I had a car before I signed and I kept that, and I haven't bought anything too exciting yet.

The contract hasn't changed me too much as a person, and I always tell my brothers and my parents that if you ever see a change in me, to let me know because I don't ever want to be someone that gets changed by the money.

It is just money, so I didn't really change my lifestyle because of the contract. What do you remember about that day? Turner: I was actually pretty nervous, considering it was my professional debut in a regular-season game.

I wanted to go out there and kinda prove I belonged. Once I got out there, the nerves calmed down and I was able to do my thing.
