Torrens is a sell — below-league skill, no luck to blame.

His expected wOBA is .271 — .044 below the league average of .315 — and he has enough plate appearances for that number to be reliable. His actual wOBA tracks near it, so there is no bad-luck story pulling the line down. The contact quality is weak: average exit velocity 87.6 mph, hard-hit rate 35.7%, and barrel rate 4.0%, all below league, and those samples are past stabilization. His xwOBA has been stepping down across the season, which means the trend is not on his side. There is no unstable metric inflating or depressing his line — this is simply the level he is at. Sell. 3 HR / 13 R / 19 RBI / 0 SB / .229 AVG: a drop-worthy line for a rotational-only catcher.
