He started the season going 3 for 21 and went after going 0 for 3 with a walk Sunday, he&#8217;s fighting through a 2-for-19 skid with seven strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Tork, connecting with one might be enough for him,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cIt could click him right into being on time and hitting all pitches.\u201d<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"\/><partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" class=\"spacer-large\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>That\u2019s the thing, though; there have been stretches this season where it looked like he was on time and he was driving balls without results. In the first game of the series Friday in Boston, he worked a six-pitch at-bat against lefty Ranger Suarez and hit a ball 322 feet that Ceddanne Rafaela ran down in center.<\/p>\n<p>In the 10th inning, he got a sinker middle-in from righty reliever Garrett Whitlock and smoked it, 101 mph off the bat. But he hit it on the ground, right at the shortstop.<\/p>\n<partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>But he looked like a completely different hitter Saturday. He struck out three times and tapped back to the pitcher. The Red Sox have been mixing speeds and trying to pitch him away. He was called out on strikes twice, including a three-pitch strikeout against lefty Jovani Moran in which he looked at three straight changeups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been pretty patient, or passive, depending on how you want to look at it,\u201d Hinch said.<\/p>\n<p>Torkelson is seeing nearly five pitches per at-bat and had swung at the first pitch in just nine of his first 77 plate appearances. He swung at first pitches in his final two at-bats Sunday and flew out to right field in both. His chase rate is low (16.4%) and his walk rate is high (16.9%). \u00a0<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"600\" outstream=\"\" momentum=\"\"\/>\n<p>The only thing missing, right now, is consistent hard contact and damage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe needs to find a happy medium on how aggressive to be and continue to try to get good pitches to hit,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cThen it comes down to execution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Torkelson has been through this before and he\u2019s far from panicking. Saturday was an exception, but throughout this recent stretch, he said he felt generally comfortable at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe swing is fine,\u201d Torkelson said last week. \u201cI\u2019m seeing the ball well. It\u2019s just a matter of trusting an approach. I feel like you dig yourself a hole; you want to make it all back in one swing and that\u2019s a trap. As long as I stick to my approach at the plate and trust it, I am going to be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" class=\"spacer-large\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>Hinch has dropped Torkelson down to the seventh spot in the batting order against right-handed starters and on Sunday, he was in the seventh spot against lefty Garrett Crochet, as well.<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>\u201cThis is a tough sport, mentally,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough for him to get started this way, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not in there. It doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t have a really good day today. One of two good things go his way, you can see him take off.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2 wp-block-heading\">Tigers at Red Sox<\/h2>\n<p><strong>&#x25b6;<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>First pitch: <\/strong>11:10 a.m. Monday, Fenway Park, Boston<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>&#x25b6;<\/strong>\u00a0TV\/radio: <\/strong>Detroit Sports Net\/97.1 FM<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scouting report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#x25b6;<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>RHP Jack Flaherty (0-1, 4.05), Tigers: <\/strong>The only issue of concern in his last three starts has been the walks. His 15.9% walk rate isn\u2019t tenable, and he knows it. But his stuff has been sharp, commanding a 93-mph four-seamer at the bottom of the rail and mixing sliders and knuckle-curves off it. Opponents are hitting just .200 against him, .179 against his four-seamer. He\u2019s pitched well at Fenway, allowing four earned runs in 10 innings over two starts with 12 strikeouts and two walks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#x25b6;<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>RHP Sonny Gray (2-1, 4.43), Red Sox: <\/strong>He\u2019s still trying to get his footing with the Red Sox. He ran afoul of the hot-hitting Twins at Target Field last time out (five runs, two homers in four innings). His strikeout numbers are at a career low (4.9 per nine innings) but ground-ball rate is up (55.6%). He\u2019s leaned on his cutter and curveball a lot early, mixing off his sinker (92 mph) and four-seamer (91.7 mph). The sweeper and changeup (to lefties) are still in his tool kit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:Chris.McCosky@detroitnews.com\">Chris.McCosky@detroitnews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>@cmccosky<\/p>\n<lit-timestamp class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-small\" slot=\"timestamp\" publishdate=\"2026-04-19 19:45:19.367373346 +0000 UTC\" updatedate=\"2026-04-20 08:19:13.619939505 +0000 UTC\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/sports\/mlb\/tigers\/2026\/04\/19\/detroit-tigers-waiting-for-spencer-torkelson-to-launch-in-2026\/89689182007\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nSee more https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston \u2014 For a hitter, finding that productive space between patience and passivity is vital.
