Signed for $25,000 as a 17-year-old in December 2010, Torrez finally reached full-season ball in 2014 and led low Class A Kane County in wins (11) and innings (131). He has not added much muscle to his skinny frame and may not have much projection left, but his fastball and pitchability may be enough. He works off a 91-92 mph fastball that reaches 95 with sink and average life, with above-average control and potential solid-average command. He pitches inside with it to neutralize lefthanders (.536 OPS). He's athletic and repeats his delivery, maintaining the quality of his stuff over six- and seven-inning outings. Torrez's consistency with his fastball contrasts with his inconsistent secondary stuff. His fringy slider helps him get groundballs, and he lacks conviction in his below-average changeup. Torrez does little things well such as holding runners and fielding his position. It adds up to a back-end starter profile and a step-at-atime progression through the minors. Next stop: high Class A Myrtle Beach.
