Part 2/7:

Gleyber Torres, who came to the Yankees as part of the Aroldis Chapman trade back in 2016, quickly became an essential part of the franchise's future, showcasing immense talent as a young player. In his early years, he dazzled with his power at just 21 years old by hitting 24 home runs, and following that up with an impressive 38-home run season at 22. These performances solidified his status not just as a Yankee favorite but as one of baseball's bright young stars.

However, as his career progressed, so too did the inconsistencies. Following those stellar early seasons and amidst the changing landscape of baseballs, Torres' power numbers saw a sharp decline, coupled with disappointing defensive metrics that saw him ranked as one of the weakest defensive second basemen just last season.
