## Resource

Spencer Torkelson, once hailed as baseball’s next big thing after being drafted first overall, is hitting rock bottom this season. With a batting average stuck at .198 and a strikeout machine persona, his once-promising power game has fizzled under pressure. After a shaky rookie year and a disappointing sophomore slump, Torkelson’s struggles are now forcing the Tigers to ask: can he recover in Detroit, or does he need a fresh start elsewhere? With the clock ticking and the league moving fast, his future hinges on whether he can rediscover the spark that made scouts go wild—or if this is the end of his breakout story.
