Why Gleyber Torres is only getting better

A lot can happen in a year, just ask Gleyber Torres. Last June, Gleyber was sitting in a hospital bed about to go under the knife for a UCL tear after sliding headfirst into home. He was hoping to make an impact on the 2017 Yankees, as he was the undisputed top prospect in the organization. But as the team surged through October and reached Game 7 of the ALCS, all Torres could do was watch from the couch.

10 months after the surgery, however, Gleyber Torres made his MLB debut on April 22nd and never looked back.
