New York Yankees: Gleyber Torres’ demolition of the Orioles started on this date last year

Error 0:

New York Yankees‘ fans witnessed the birth of a franchise player in 2019. Gleyber Torres, one of the prized prospects the team had received from the Chicago Cubs back in 2016, matured right before our eyes.

After all, Gleyber slashed .278/.337/.535 with 38 home runs in 144 games and 604 plate appearances. He had a healthy 125 wRC+ and 3.6 fWAR while playing second base and shortstop.

However, his domination of the Baltimore Orioles’ pitching staff was mind-blowing. Of course, in 2019, several other batters feasted on the lowly O’s, but none of them like Gleyber Torres.
