Notes
	Spencer Torkelson rebounded strongly in 2025, posting a career-best .240/.333/.456 slash with 31 homers and a 117 OPS+. The plate discipline gains were real, as his walk rate climbed and his overall offensive value returned to comfortably above league average. FantasyPros 2026 projections build on that bounce-back, forecasting another 30-homer season with solid run production thanks to his locked-in everyday role at first base/DH. Torkelson's age-26 power prime makes him a stable corner-infield target with upside rather than the risky asset he appeared to be a year ago. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
