It is safe to say that the New York Yankees have been on a tear ever since calling up their young phenom middle infielder, Gleyber Torres, on April 22nd, going 18-3 in that span. Not only that, but the top-ranked prospect in the Yankees farm system (4th in MLB’s Top 100 Pipeline) has been a major contributor to their success.
Perhaps the pinnacle of his early days on the team was his 3-run walk-off homer against Cleveland that landed in the Yankees bullpen a couple weeks ago. His gritty at-bats, Roberto Alomar impressions with the glove, and upbeat demeanor in the dugout appear to be factors as well.
