Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is on a nice little hot streak. Over his last five games (starting last Saturday), Torres is batting .350 with two home runs and three RBIs. In Wednesday’s 12–6 win over the Twins, he went 2-for-5 with a homer and a double. And for some reason, one Yankees doubted that he could replicate that performance.
“If Gleyber Torres homers tonight, I’ll get a bowl cut,” a Twitter user named Jakob posted before New York’s game against the Rangers on Thursday night.
And wouldn’t you know it, in the top of the second inning, Torres hit an absolute laser beam to dead center that left that bat at 111 mph.
