Despite the disappointing 3–2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night, the New York Yankees once again experienced another positive performance from infielder Gleyber Torres.
At 26 years old, the former All-Star is evolving into a star talent once again after taking a step in the wrong direction the past few years. He did enjoy a bounce-back 2022 campaign, hitting .257 with a .310 OBP, but he didn’t look comfortable at the plate and hosted his highest strikeout rate since his rookie season back in 2018 at 22.6%.
To start the 2023 campaign, Torres is showcasing discipline and efficiency in his swing decisions.
