Luis Torrens It is “on fire,” it is said in English. 2024 has been a dream for the Venezuelan. This Saturday he made his debut with the Yankees, hitting a home run and winning the team’s table tennis tournament.
The mask, who lined up as DH, went to the street, with a 403-foot hit, also released another hit and drove in two in what was the first exhibition game for the Yankees.
Luis Torrens is experiencing an intense 2024. Since the year began, in January, when he was taken as a reinforcement for the postseason by the Tiburones de La Guaira, the Venezuelan has not stopped producing. In addition to being one of the best hitters in the semifinals, he was champion of Venezuela, the Caribbean, the Yankees table tennis tournament and started serving the ball in the preseason.
Torrens played just five games in the Major Leagues with the Seattle Mariners. Afterwards he declared a free agent on November 3, 2023 and on January 24 he signed with the Yankees.
It was the Yankees, precisely, who gave him the bonus of 1.3 million dollars in 2012 for signing him to the professional, but it was with San Diego that he reached the Majors.
The current agreement is a minor league contract with an invitation to training camp. With the five catchers that the Yankees have on the 40-man roster, it seems difficult for Torrens to be a part of the game.
However, Torrens is off to a good start and will have a good chance of playing in the exhibition season.
Another who in that same game went to the street was the Venezuelan Yorbit Vivaswho traveled to Lakeland to face Detroit.
