Yorvit Adolfo Torrealba ([ʝoɾˈβit toreˈalβa]; born July 19, 1978) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball catcher.

Torrealba signed with the San Francisco Giants as a minor league free agent on September 14, 1994.

[2] During the 2002 postseason, Torrealba would still serve as the backup catcher although he made no appearances as the Giants lost the 2002 World Series to the Anaheim Angels.

Yorvit showed some potential, but when Benito Santiago left via free agency in 2003, the Giants opted to trade for A. J. Pierzynski rather than test Torrealba as a full-time player.

[3] He continued to serve as the backup catcher when the Giants signed Mike Matheny prior to the 2005 season; in fact, he played less than when Pierzynski was the starter.

[4] Manager Felipe Alou publicly discussed the possibility of converting Torrealba into a utility player to get him more playing time, but that never came to pass.

[3] The Mariners were in the midst of a 93-loss season and were rebuilding, and Torrealba competed for the opportunity to be Seattle's starting catcher.

After the 2005 season, the Seattle Mariners traded Torrealba to the Colorado Rockies for Marcos Carvajal after signing Kenji Johjima to be their starting catcher.

[11] Torrealba also hit a 3-run home run off of former teammate Liván Hernández in Game 3 of the 2007 National League Championship Series.

[13] Through the 2007 season, Torrealba posted a career .251 batting average with 30 home runs and 173 RBIs in 440 games.

On November 6, 2009, the Rockies decided to go with youngster Chris Iannetta as their primary catcher and declined their 2010 contract option with Torrealba, making him a free agent.

[15] On February 9, 2010, Torrealba and the San Diego Padres signed a one-year contract with a mutual option for a second year.

[17] Torrealba led the Rangers into the postseason until the team lost the 2011 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

[22] On August 14, 2012, Torrealba signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, and reported to the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

[38] On December 23, 2011, while playing for the Leones del Caracas in the Venezuelan Winter League regular season, Torrealba argued heatedly following a strikeout.
