• Tork and Kirk Doing Work - June 11th, 2025
Specner Torkelson, 1B, DET Torkelson went 1 for 4 with a two-run homer on Tuesday. He has 16 HR on the season to go along with 47 RBI. After a rough 2024 campaign, the 25-year-old has bounced back and is amidst a career year. Tork's 31 HR and 94 RBI in 2023 are nothing to scoff at, but with career-best marks across the board, he's on pace to eclipse his 2023 campaign with relative ease. Unsurprisi...2025

• Dodgers’ lack of bat speed hasn’t hurt their production, for the most part
(Photo: Cody Bashore) With Statcast becoming more and more advanced, we now have publicly available information on all kinds of bat-tracking metrics — most notably, bat speed. Bat speed has always, anecdotally, been associated with power and hitting the ball hard. While it’s true swinging the bat harder can lead to harder contact, it doesn’t …...2025

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The bat will come around. There is plenty of blame to go around on this 26-29 Atlanta Braves squad. For starters, sequencing and timing.

Evan Carter, OF, Texas Rangers Carter made his 2025 debut, going 2-5 with R and K. While your leaguemates might hop on him trying to catch some post-hype sleeper effect, I'm personally hesitant. Carter was striking out at 25.6% in AAA prior to his callup, and was only hitting 27.8% of balls hard. I appreciate his 50.9% flyball rate and 6 SB.
