Oops! All Astros: Jojanse Torres & Luis Guerrero
In today’s seasonal player-by-player recap, we’re checking out a pair from the high-minors.
Jojanse Torres
Jojanse Torres is a six-foot-two, 175 lb. right-handed reliever from San Pedro de Macoris, DR. Born on August 4, 1995, Torres signed his first professional deal through free agency with the Milwaukee Brewers on August 11, 2015 (according to The Baseball Cube) for a $150,000 bonus. He never appeared in their system, and in 2018 signed a deal with the Astros.
Torres posted startling numbers in 2019 between the Mid-A Quad Cities River Bandits and the then-High-A Fayetteville Woodpeckers, going 12-0 with a 1.71 ERA, 107 whiffs in 94 2⁄3 innings, and a nifty 1.109 WHIP.
