Gleyber Torres drops NSFW celebration while streaming video game

Yankees star Gleyber Torres unleashed an NSFW celebration after getting a key kill in a video game stream this weekend.

It definitely gets lost in the “Gleyber Torres is only 23!!” meme cycle that Gleyber Torres is actually only 23 years old. And so far, it appears the Yankees star is spending his months-long break the way any young man of a similar age would be: getting way too into video games.

With nothing else to do on a winter weekend, Torres hopped onto Call of Duty and streamed himself dominating in the digital landscape.

And when he polished off the round with a clutch kill, he couldn’t help but unleash the emotion in slightly NSFW fashion.

I mean, that’s exactly what we sound like at home when Torres murders a fastball into the left-field bleachers. It’s only fitting that the man himself sounds the exact same way when he gets a victory virtually.

The last time we saw Torres on the field, he was unleashing those same emotions deep within us, hurting a baseball off the Western Metal Supply Building in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Rays.

Though it was a tough 60-game season for Gleyber, his very best moment came at the tail end. What a release.

Entering 2021, we’re not absolutely positive that Torres is a shortstop, though his strange 2020 probably didn’t change the trajectory of his Yankees future — or, at least, it shouldn’t.

There is an outside chance, though, that Torres will be shifting back to second base in 2021, which would mean that DJ LeMahieu walked so Francisco Lindor could run.

We’re not sure where we fall on the emotional spectrum of endorsing that, though. Probably somewhere between a full-throated, “Let’s f****ing GOOOO!” and a silent fist pump.

If the stress of a possible infield shakeup ever gets to Torres, though, at least we know he’s got a solid release.
