Expert Note
View More NotesSpencer Torkelson rebounded strongly in 2025, posting a career-best .240/.333/.456 slash with 31 homers and a 117 OPS+, reestablishing himself as a middle-of-the-order power bat after a disappointing, injury-shortened 2024. The plate discipline gains were real, as his walk rate climbed and his overall offensive value (rOBA and Rbat+) 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. While batting average volatility remains part of his profile due to strikeouts, 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.
