2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Goes deep twice Tuesday
Torrens went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
The power display was a bit unexpected, as Torrens had only three home runs in 151 at-bats with Seattle last season. However, the veteran backstop did go deep 15 times in 2021, so he has shown off some pop in his career. Torrens is likely third in Chicago's catching pecking order behind Yan Gomes and Tucker Barnhart, so his fantasy value will be limited unless he's able to move up the depth chart. He's on a minor-league deal and could start the year with Triple-A Iowa, though the Cubs may decide to carry three catchers in the early going.

Stat Review
How does Luis Torrens compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
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.
