Don’t let the baby face fool you. Gleyber Torres is a killer.
Just look at how he has performed in the cauldron that is The Bronx at the age of 22. He has been particularly stellar with runners in scoring position, batting a smooth .402 with eight of his 21 home runs.
“That’s who he’s been since he got here,” manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s a guy you want up in that situation. He likes being in that spot. He’s able to really lock in and focus.”
That trend continued in the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
