When Gleyber Torres arrived to spring training last February, all eyes fixed on the young infielder. Fresh off an Arizona Fall League that saw him capture the Most Valuable Player award, fans and evaluators alike wanted to see the top prospect in action. There was no shortage of buzz surrounding his Grapefruit League debut.
Torres didn’t disappoint, either. He wowed everyone in attendance, hitting .448/.469/.931 with two home runs over 19 games. It was an electric showing for the 20-year-old. While he didn’t break camp with the club, he caught everyone’s attention. His showing solidified his status as one of the top prospects in all of baseball.
