Baez and Torkelson

[bean5302]

As if Detroit wasn't dangerous enough in the AL Central as it is, Spencer Torkelson has found his swing. He's destroying opposing pitchers with elite exit velocity, hard hit and barrel rates along with dramatic improvements in plate discipline and contact. This was not something expected to develop, and it's bad news for the Twins.

On top of that, Javvy Baez is hitting, though at least all the metrics suggest there's no good reason for his high productivity. That said, if the productivity sparks positive changes for him mentally, he could start building on the success (like Royce Lewis did his rookie year).

If those bats keep producing, it's not hard to imagine the Tigers winning 100 games this year...
