About a month ago, many thought Spencer Torkelson would not make the Detroit Tiger Opening Day roster. Not only did Torkelson make the roster, but he was the Tigers’ DH for their opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and to say he made the most of his opportunity would be selling him short.

Tork Bomb!

Watch as Spencer Torkelson launches an absolute no-doubt home run in the top of the seventh inning to pull the Tigers to within one of the Dodgers. The home run came off Tork’s bat at 108.5 mph and flew 423 feet.
