2026 Fantasy Outlook
Torrens had an interesting 2025 season, especially behind the plate where he was simply incredible framing pitches and and preventing the running game. More simply, he was everything Francisco Alvarez was not. Torrens threw out 20 of 49 attempted thefts on the bases as the league's best stolen base deterrant, so the Mets could live with yet another sub-part level of statistics from the backstop at the plate. Yet, a peek under the hood shows some interesting qualities in this bat which get interesting as you consider how to fill your second catcher position in deep leagues. For all catchers with at least 200 batted ball events, Torrense was 10th in Barrel Rate and 5th in Hard Hit Rate. Do not expect that to translate into home runs as Torrens extra base hits were nearly all to the opposite field last season, but that quality of contact is why we see a sizable gap in his actual stats compared to his expected stats in batting average and slugging percentage. Do not get greedy, but something near his 2021 numbers would be just fine from the C2 position in deeper leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Analysis
The 30-year-old catcher got the Mets on the board in the sixth inning by taking Tyler Mahle deep. Torrens is up to five homers on the season, and three of them have come in August -- on the month he's batting .375 (6-for-16) with eight RBI while starting five of the team's 11 games.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2023
2022
2021
Other then 2021 with the Mariners, Torrens has been a career backup. Last season, he occasionally spelled Francisco Alvarez, which will be Torrens role again this season. After fanning 30 percent of the time the prior two seasons, Torrens strikeout rate dropped to 21.5 percent fueling his most productive season since 2021. His defense has improved each of the past two years, adding to his appeal for the Mets, but not enough to be in the fantasy mix for anything but two-catcher NL-only formats, and even then, he's a batting average liability with limited pop and no speed.
Torrens actually had more plate appearances than Cal Raleigh through the end of May last season, but by mid-August he was removed from their 40-man roster (he was eventually re-added to the roster before being non-tendered over the winter). The 26-year-old landed a minor-league contract with the Cubs but faces an uphill battle to win a roster spot given the presence of Tucker Barnhart and Yan Gomes. Torrens showed in 2021 that he's a capable enough hitter to help in fantasy at the weakest position, but that performance looks like a clear outlier in his career.
Torrens earned the most consistent major-league run of his career in 2021, racking up 378 plate appearances. While catcher is Torrens' defensive home, he saw the majority of his playing time as the designated hitter. While that combination is a rarity, Torrens boasts a fairly impressive power profile, highlighted by a 10.4% barrel rate and 43.2% hard-hit rate. The result was a .188 ISO, a mark that could grow if Torrens learns to lift the ball more (6.1 degree average launch angle, 30.5 FB%). The rest of his profile is unremarkable, as he struck out at a 26.2% clip and has yet to attempt a stolen base in 611 career plate appearances. Most concerning is Torrens' potential role in 2022, as he isn't likely to maintain his duties as designated hitter and the catcher depth chart is crowded ahead of him due to the presence of Tom Murphy and Cal Raleigh.
Prior to last year, Torrens had very little on his MLB resume since being plucked out of Low-A in the Rule 5 draft before ahead of the 2017 season, throwing off his development. He now has at least one somewhat respectable season under his belt, as he hit .257/.325/.371 in 25 games for the Padres and Mariners last year, good for a nearly average 96 wRC+. That sample was of course quite small, but on after a strong .300/.373/.500 line in Double-A the year prior, it seems fairly safe to say that Torrens is finally major-league ready. We'll need more than 25 games of decent numbers at the plate to conclude that he's a particularly interesting fantasy asset, though, especially as the playing-time split between him and Tom Murphy this year is not yet clear. Defense could play a role, a potential concern given that Torrens graded out quite poorly as a framer last year despite a solid reputation in the minors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Yankees
CNew York Mets
July 11, 2026
Torrens could be a deadline target for the Yankees, Jon Heyman of the New York Post speculates.
Analysis
The Yankees are seeking catching help in a thin market, and Torrens could provide a solution for the second half of the 2026 campaign even if he's not the team's primary target. He'd add much-needed depth at the position and would be a clear defensive upgrade over the current in-house options. He doesn't have a lot of value on offense, however, as Torrens is hitting .214 with a .591 OPS across 59 games and 175 plate appearances in 2026.
