Gleyber Torres might be the best rookie in baseball and yet for the 34th time in his 42 games, the second baseman hit last in the Yankees lineup.
The unusual spot in the order doesn’t bother the 21-year-old.
“I never did it before this year, but I like it,” Torres said before the Yankees were scheduled to close out their series against the Mets on Sunday night at Citi Field. “I try to enjoy every opportunity I get.”
Aaron Boone has consistently said the main reason he likes Torres in that spot is the length it gives to the lineup — even at National League parks.
