Torres is a sell — the bat is below league and trending down.

His expected wOBA is .300, .015 below the league average of .315, and his 162 plate appearances put that number past the point where it becomes reliable. Nothing in his contact profile offers a reason to expect the line to climb: he averages 87.1 mph off the bat, two mph below league, with a 27.0% hard-hit rate against a league average of 40.0% and a 3.5% barrel rate against 8.0%. His plate discipline is tidy — a 19.1% strikeout rate, a 9.3% walk rate, a 9.0% swinging-strike rate — but that discipline is producing weak contact, not a hidden luck break. And the expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample, which means the bat is not just below league but getting worse. There is no BABIP story to wait on. Sell. With a 0 HR / 1 R / 4 RBI / 0 SB / .225 AVG rest of season, he's a deep-league drop, not a hold.
