Since bursting onto the scene in 2018, Gleyber Torres has been one of the top producers in an elite lineup. The 23-year-old infielder has stayed on the fast track development-wise that brought him through the minors in just three full seasons. His power numbers have skyrocketed, his ability to create walks has transitioned well, and his strikeout rates have normalized after an early spike.
After the departure of Didi Gregorius this offseason, Torres is being moved back to his natural position at shortstop. It’s a more challenging position, but there is optimism that Torres will adapt positively to the change.
