The Reds have selected Torres with the 89th overall pick in the 2021 first-year player draft.
Analysis
The shortstop from NC State stands 6-foot, 168 pounds. Torres is a tremendous defender with a strong arm but will have to make big strides in his offensive abilities. He slashed .294/.352/.514 in 47 games in 2021, most notably cutting his strikeout rate to roughly 17 percent from 30 percent a season prior. That being said, Torres struggles to make contact with breaking balls and with his frame may struggle to hit for power at the upper levels.
