Every year, several times a year, teams will send players down to the minor leagues as a reset. Sometimes it’s to rebuild confidence, sometimes it’s to adjust their mechanics. Almost all of the time, it fails to bear any fruit. We’ve seen this with Evan White, and more recently, we’ve seen it with Taylor Trammell and Jarred Kelenic. As is apparent in the title, it seems that Luis Torrens has broken up that pattern. He made a legitimate adjustment in Triple-A that’s been paying dividends for over a month now.
Of course, about a month of elite production is hardly rare — more inferior players have been even better for longer — but it is encouraging.
