Luis Torrens has stepped into the starting catcher role for the Mets, showcasing impressive skills after Francisco Alvarez's injury. In a recent game against the Marlins, Torrens not only contributed offensively with a home run but also made a crucial defensive play by tagging out a runner at home plate. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Torrens for his athleticism, noting that his performance has been a standout during the team's challenging early season. Torrens's unexpected effectiveness highlights the depth of the Mets' roster.
In a game the Mets had just tied with a dramatic Pete Alonso home run, the Marlins were threatening to un-tie it against Edwin Díaz in the eighth inning.
The fact it was even close was a testament to an impressive amount of athleticism from a catcher the Mets picked up from the Yankees last season in exchange for cash.
