MIAMI \u2014 After an offseason in which the Mets spent over a billion dollars, their best player through a week might be their $1.5 million ostensible backup catcher.<\/p>\n
Luis Torrens, who has been thrust into the everyday job because of Francisco Alvarez\u2019s hand surgery, has been a surprising two-way force who slugged a home run Tuesday and made the play of the Mets\u2019 six-game season in Wednesday\u2019s 6-5, 11-inning win over the Marlins at loanDepot Park.<\/p>\n
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 D\u00edaz in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n
An infield single from Xavier Edwards presented an issue. <\/p>\n
A steal and a wild pitch that brought Edwards to third presented a problem. D\u00edaz struck out Kyle Stowers before Griffin Conine grounded directly to a shifted-in Brett Baty, the second baseman cleanly picking the ball and throwing home to cut down Edwards. <\/p>\n
Baty\u2019s throw was off line, on the first base side of the plate, and Torrens backhanded the catch, then flung his arm back across his body blindly hoping to collide with Edwards\u2019 hand.<\/p>\n
It worked \u2014 eventually, at least. Edwards was called safe initially, and a Mets challenge overturned a call that still seems too close to call.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnbelievable play there,\u201d manager Carlos Mendoza said. \u201cOne of the biggest plays of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Torrens was not finished. As D\u00edaz \u2014 who struggles to hold base runners \u2014 fell behind Jonah Bride, Torrens caught the second straight ball and watched Conine take off for second base. <\/p>\n
Torrens did not leave his stance, throwing a dart from his knees that brought his own body to the dirt. <\/p>\n
Baty caught the throw and slapped on a tag to escape an inning in which danger always seemed imminent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrowing from his knees,\u201d Mendoza said, \u201cpretty impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Torrens has been pretty impressive in six games in which he is batting .313, receiving strong marks from his pitchers and poor marks from opposing base stealers, who are 1-for-4 against him.<\/p>\n
The Mets seemed to collapse when Alvarez required thumb surgery last April and were not the same team until their talented young catcher returned in June.<\/p>\n
This time, the Mets seem better positioned to withstand an Alvarez injury because they have a backup who at the least is a standout defender and at the most can do some of everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it starts off with confidence and knowing that you\u2019re going to be in the lineup day in and day out,\u201d Torrens said Tuesday, through interpreter Alan Suriel, of his strong start. \u201cAnd then after that, it\u2019s all the hard work you have to put in to be able to have that type of success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
