Before he was benched on June 25th, Gleyber Torres was hitting .215/.294/.333 with a .628 OPS, good for an 81 wRC+, which was far below expectations. His struggles continued as he led the league in errors at second base with 18, and he failed to hit a home run until May 2nd, leaving fans concerned about his future. This period marked a time when it seemed he was utterly lost at the plate, lacking any inspiring approach.
Post-benching, Gleyber Torres transformed his season, posting a remarkable .298/.365/.421 with a .786 OPS and a 126 wRC+. His return to the leadoff spot revitalized the Yankees' offense, turning a previously struggling position into a strength. He effectively cut down on strikeouts and increased walks, showing improved plate discipline and making solid contact. This upward trajectory not only contributed to the team’s performance but highlighted his potential as a key player moving forward.
