By this season’s end, Ronald Torreyes will receive a paycheck of a little over half a million dollars — $561.9K to be exact. But the 24-year-old fun-sized utility infielder has persistently shown the Yankees that his worth is much higher.
In 89 games played, Torreyes’ offensive numbers are exceptional. Entering Tuesday night, his batting average sat at .284 (77-for-271), and his 11 doubles and 33 RBI have made him a stealthy asset at the bottom of New York’s lineup. As for his glove work at shortstop, second and third base, there are very few blunders to be found, as Torreyes has committed just four errors on 282 total defensive chances.
