Dugout Dirt 2042.71 - Coffee Shop Series - Rafael Torres

[DugoutDesperado]

On the tail end of a trading frenzy, 17 out of the 35 players were given their cup of coffee via the September call-ups. Many of those players experienced many quality innings over that month. The Coffee Shop Series will summarize the player’s performance over the last month. This edition will review Rafael Torres.

Rafael made 2 relief appearances during the call-up where he pitched for 3.2 innings. He registered 4 strikeouts while issuing 1 walks. Rafael’s ERA for the month was 2.45.

These stats came on the heels of Rafael spending the prior portion of 2042 with the AAA club in Black Hills prior to being traded to Jacksonville. Rafael was 2-0 with 5 saves and a 3.46 ERA while pitching 42.1 innings in 29 appearances.

Probability on being in the 2043 opening day lineup: Rafael appears to have an inside track to be one of the main relievers in the Jacksonville bullpen at the beginning of the 2043 season.
