Gleyber Torres is having one of the best rookie second base seasons ever

Gleyber Torres came into New York with the pedigree of a top prospect, and so far he’s lived up to it. In the 23 games of his major league career, he’s amassed 25 hits, and four home runs, including a walk-off homer. He’s hit .309/.374/.494, and put up somewhere between 0.7 and 1.0 WAR depending on which version of the stat you prefer. All the while he’s, in theory, still adjusting to the major leagues.

At some point, he’ll probably slump, because all players do at one time or another. However, if he does maintain a performance level around what he’s doing right now, he’ll have a chance to do things few others in recent memory have accomplished.
