New York Yankees: Gleyber Torres To Move Around Infield In 2019

In 2018, New York Yankees youth infielder Gleyber Torres, played 21 games at shortstop, committing five errors and turning eight double-plays. The youth product has played far better at second base, allowing 12 errors in 109 overall games. If we consider the games-played differential between the two positions, we can assume Torres would have committed over 25 errors at SS.

His issues at the infield’s most difficult position forced the Yankees to move him to second where he remained for the rest of the season. But just because he was moved doesn’t mean there won’t be another opportunity for him to prove himself.
