Torres is a hold — league average with no edge.

His expected wOBA sits at .342, slightly above the .315 league average, and that number is stable after 190 plate appearances. But his actual BABIP is .328, still noisy at just 126 balls in play and likely to pull his overall production back toward the mean. The underlying contact quality tells the story: his average exit velocity is 85.3 mph, well below the 89.0 mph league average, and his hard-hit rate is 31.7% compared to 40.0% league. Those numbers are reliable. His barrel rate is just barely at league average. On the plus side, his walk rate is excellent at 15.3%, and his strikeout and chase rates are well below league, which helps buoy his on-base skills. That said, the xwOBA has been stepping up across the sample, but the weak contact metrics cap his ceiling. There is no clear buy or sell signal here. Hold. 4 HR, 25 R, 14 RBI, 0 SB, .252 AVG — a drop-tier hold best left on the wire in standard mixed leagues.
