Torres

12/9/18 - Torres showed off his big arm defensively with a play up the line in which he threw out a runner by a half-step when nobody in the stands gave him a shot. At the plate the left-handed hitter put some good swings on the ball without much to show for it. The power is fairly projectable with Torres, who has a long, lean, wiry strong frame. The USC commit appears primed for a big junior season.

10/20/18 - Los Angeles Open - USC commit. 5-foot-11, 150-pound, long, lean, strong frame. Torres showed to be the slick fielding shortstop with an incredibly projectable left-handed bat that we've seen develop over the last couple seasons. An average runner (7.40 60), Torres is quicker than he is fast and it shows in his defense where he is a rangy, twitchy, athletic middle infielder with a strong, accurate arm. Shows quick, fluid footwork along with excellent body control. Hands are very soft and exchanges are clean and fluid. Plays through balls aggressively while showing the ability to throw accurately on the run and from multiple angles. At the plate Torres shows just how high his ceiling is with as smooth a left-handed swing as we've seen this year. Has a simple setup with slight back load before exploding his back hip, hands, and barrel into the ball and through extension. The entire process is very rhythmic and athletic. Got extended on several balls on the outer half and drove them to the left-center-field wall. Shows present gap power which really projects as his frame continues to fill out and add strength.
