New York Yankees No. 2 Prospect Named AFL Player Of The Week

In case you didn’t notice, the future for the New York Yankees is bright as ever.

There second-best prospect, Gleyber Torres, just took home the Arizona Fall League player of the week award for Week 2 after going 6-for-9 (.667) with a home run, a double, and two stolen bases in three games.

Torres, who was acquired when general manager Brian Cashman sent Aroldis Chapman to the Chicago Cubs, slashed a disappointing .254/.341/.385 with 23 strikeouts in his 31 games in High-A Tampa but what he’s doing now in the Arizona Fall League is quite the showcase.
