"Torres didn’t come close to touching second base because his footwork was so poor. The so-called neighborhood play on double-play grounders usually resulted in outs until 2016 when those plays could be challenged for the first time.
Torres didn’t get to the majors until 2017, so he should know better.
...
Torres has had a much better season this year, hitting .242 with 18 homers and 50 RBI in 115 games, but he’s hit .168 with two homers and four RBI over his last 25 games since July 31. He was 0-for-4 in Monday’s loss."
Is it a "much better season," though?
Eighteen home runs is a lot for a second baseman, but that's it.
Horrible with RISP.
Way too many strikeouts, double plays, and pop ups.
Everyone knows the problem. His swing is too big. The result is 18 home runs. Not enough. He should know better.
