A 4.8 magnitude earthquake was not enough to disrupt Gleyber Torres and the New York Yankees during their batting practice ahead of Friday’s home opener.

At around 10:23 a.m. EST, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Northeast. The earthquake was felt in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware and Connecticut.

And yet, rather shockingly, the 4.8 magnitude earthquake did nothing to bother Torres during his batting practice at Yankee Stadium. Check out the video below of Torres putting in the work in the midst of the earthquake:

That’s dedication to the craft, ladies and gentlemen.

The 27-year-old Torres entered play on Friday with a .214 batting average, one RBI and a .583 OPS to begin the season. It’s been a slow start for the career .266 hitter, but it’s surely only a matter of time until he gets going.

After a near-perfect seven-game road trip to begin the season, the New York Yankees (6-1) made the trip back east for their home opener against the AL East rival Toronto Blue Jays. The Pinstripes will play a three-game weekend series before welcoming the Miami Marlins for a three-game set that begins on Monday.

Expectations Are High For The New York Yankees In 2024

After missing the postseason for the first time in seven years, the Yankees went to work in improving an underachieving roster. They traded for San Diego Padres superstar Juan Soto to bolster the offense, giving the Yankees another MVP-caliber bat in the lineup.

GM Brian Cashman also traded for ex-Boston Red Sox standout Alex Verdugo and signed pitcher Marcus Stroman to improve a deep but injury-prone rotation.

With all that talent in place, anything less than a postseason appearance would be a massive failure in the Bronx. Of course, die-hard Yankees fans will tell you that it’s World Series or bust (as always) as the franchise aims to end a 15-year championship drought in 2024.
