How Gleyber Torres’ base-running wowed Yankees, too

Sports

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Gleyber Torres is listed among the top prospects in baseball for a solid bat and good actions at shortstop.

Saturday he displayed very good instincts when he scored from second on a wild pitch against the Phillies at Spectrum Field.

Torres, who had two doubles in a 6-5 loss, was on second base behind Miguel Andujar when Cesar Ramos bounced a pitch in the dirt that hit catcher Cameron Rupp and rolled toward the Yankees’ dugout. After Andujar scored easily, Torres raced around third and was safe at home.
