Torres is a sell — the contact quality says this line is the level.

He is averaging 86.5 mph off the bat, 2.5 mph below the league average of 89.0, across 130 batted balls — well past the 50 it takes for exit velocity to become reliable. That gap shows up in the contact numbers: a 26.2% hard-hit rate against 40.0% league, and 3.1% barrels against 8.0%. His expected wOBA is .288, .027 below the league average of .315, and 189 plate appearances clears the threshold where that number can be trusted. His strikeout and walk rates are fine, so there is no swing-and-miss problem pulling the line down, and his expected wOBA has been stepping down as the sample has grown. There is no luck story to fall back on; this is the level he is at. Sell. A 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG line is a drop, streaming-only — fade the production entirely.
