Before the decline of the Venezuelan Francisco Álvarez in the New York Mets receiver, the concern that has been in the Queens picture has been low, since his compatriot Luis Torrens has managed to defend the position every time he has had the opportunity.
In addition to his valuable defensive contribution, the 28 -year -old Valencian records numbers highlighted in the offensive, such as eight ranged races, a home run, two scored races and .229 on average in twenty commitments.
The performance of the Venezuelan Cartcher is praised by his compatriot and manager Carlos Mendoza, who offered press conference statements about what it means for the METS to have this player since his arrival in the last campaign.
Torrens’s contribution to Mets
“Speaking of last season, we feel the impact immediately,” says Queens’s ninth strategist: “He has simply maintained it. This is a guy (referring to Torrens) that is always prepared.”
Torrens’s skills
On his role in the receiver, the Creole manager adds that the Valencian player “knows his role” and that “he is always ready” to play, even if he does not do it regularly. Said panorama does not change now that he is the holder before Álvarez’s absence.
“When he has the opportunity to play every day, as now, he shows that he is able to catch every day and handle the body of pitchers,” says Mendoza: “His ability to handle the flow of races, his spin -a -spin, put the ball at stake: there are many things that I like of this type.”
