When you think of the issues that plague the Yankees in this odd 2023 season, the offense is the center of most conversations. Sure, injuries to some of their key rotation pieces haven’t helped, and they’ve seen their bullpen take a beating injury-wise as well, but both units of the team have done enough to keep the Yankees in games. Their lineup has been borderline unwatchable at times, but second base hasn’t been an area of mass concern for them.
Gleyber Torres is in the midst of a second season where he’s been a solid hitter with above-average contact and power, improving steadily as he matures in the league.
