Gleyber Torres ran into the rookie wall last September. He started slumping right around the time the typical minor league season ends, which is fairly common for new big leaguers. Through August 31, Torres had an impressive .282/.351/.507 (130 wRC+) batting line. In 101 September plate appearances, Torres recorded a paltry 82 wRC+. His postseason performance was unremarkable as well. Now, Torres’s slump has continued into this season.
In his last 191 regular season trips to the plate dating back to September 1, Torres has a .236/.286/.402 triple-slash. Through Monday’s play, he was in the midst of a 2-for-24 skid to boot, which dropped his 2019 wRC+ from 135 to 82.
