Intrigued, but not obsessed: Tigers' AJ Hinch keeping tabs on low-level prospects Torkelson, Dingler

Detroit — They're a long way from Detroit, and not just in freeway miles.

That doesn't stop Tigers manager AJ Hinch and the rest of the coaching staff from keeping tabs on what's going on in event the lowest rungs of the minor-league system.

For instance, take Single-A West Michigan Whitecaps stars Spencer Torkelson (drafted first overall in 2020) and Dillon Dingler (drafted in the second round of 2020), who are tearing things up out in Comstock Park.

"I pay attention, because I care about the organization and they're a big part of our future," Hinch said.
