Players of the Week: Torrens, Severino Lead the Week

After a rough series against the Diamondbacks, the Mets had a bounce-back week sweeping the Nationals in a three-game series and splitting the London series with the Phillies. One name shared by two players shined through those series and earning the title of this week’s Metsmerized players of the week.

The Metsmerized staff came to a consensus that Luis Torrens was the Mets’ position player and hitter of the week and Luis Severino was the pitcher of the week.

Hitter of the Week: Luis Torrens

Torrens had a breakout series against the Nationals in Washington. In Game 1 of the series, he had a double and two RBIs. In Game 3, he was 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers. During the Mets’ series in London, Torrens had two hits and walk.

Over the course of his last six games, the 28-year-old catcher has slashed .313/.389/.750/1.138 OPS.

Torrens also shined defensively on Sunday by starting a game-winning double play that sent the Mets on to a win over the Phillies to end their weekend before coming back to the United States.
