Mitch Spence, a pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, has had a difficult run to this point, carrying a 21.21 ERA and 3.00 WHIP across 9.1 innings. The right-hander has worked in 1 start and owns a 0-2 record, with his current profile reflecting more damage prevention issues than steady rhythm from outing to outing.
His strikeout rate sits at 5.79 per nine innings, while the walk rate of 8.68 points to inconsistent command and too many stressful counts. When he is not getting ahead early, hitters can force him into unfavorable situations, and that has made it harder for his stuff to play. For now, the biggest question is whether he can sharpen location enough to avoid extended innings and limit traffic.
Recent form:

Since he last pitched, the overall trend has remained tough, and Mitch Spence has pitched without much margin for error. The recent stretch suggests he needs cleaner execution, especially early in counts, to settle games down and work deeper into appearances.
Looking ahead, the path to better results is fairly clear: more strikes, fewer free passes, and more reliable contact management. If he can establish a steadier tempo and keep hitters from dictating at-bats, there is room for improvement, but the current risk profile remains elevated until the command stabilizes and the outings become more efficient.
