2026 Fantasy Outlook

The Padres got little offensive production at the catcher position last season, with Diaz's 283 plate appearances leading the club's backstops. He produced just a .607 OPS with the opportunity, collecting nine homers and 29 RBI. Whereas Diaz had logged tolerable strikeout rates previously in career, his K percentage rose to a career-worst 26.1 percent last year, and his .204 batting average was also his worst over the course of a full season. Diaz's saving grace was his above-average work as a defender, but that wasn't enough to dissuade San Diego from acquiring the more offensively capable Freddy Fermin at the trade deadline to take over lead-catcher duties. San Diego unsurprisingly declined Diaz's option in the offseason, and it's unlikely he'll find a starting role elsewhere. Read Past Outlooks
