2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fortes made 99 starts at catcher for the Marlins in 2024 and remains dependable as ever in the field, but his .577 OPS was only a marginal improvement on his 2023 figure. The 28-year-old's bat was never a strength in the minors either, so a major turnaround shouldn't be expected after he posted a .216/.261/.309 slash line over the past two years. Fortes' work behind the plate should help him retain a roster spot given the need for stability at the position, but Miami is likely to test out their options at catcher in 2025. Liam Hicks was selected in the Rule 5 Draft, while prospect Agustin Ramirez appears close to making his MLB debut. Read Past Outlooks
Swats first homer of year
Fortes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
The backstop took Jameson Taillon deep in the third inning for the Marlins' only offense of the night. It was Fortes' first homer of the season, while the start was his sixth in May over 17 games as he continues to split the workload behind the plate with rookie Agustin Ramirez and Liam Hicks. On the month, Fortes is batting just .136 (3-for-22).

How does Nick Fortes compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The 27-year-old held a small edge in playing time over Jacob Stalling behind the plate for Miami last season, and Stallings has since been let go. Fortes ended up playing in 108 games and had a .204/.263/.299 slash line, which is a sharp drop from the .696 OPS he posted in 2022. He still provided a strong presence behind the plate, which should give him a strong chance at sticking with the big club for 2024. Fortes was never a major offensive threat during his minor-league career, so he seems unlikely to break out and become a solid option for fantasy managers. Christian Bethancourt was acquired in December and is a likely bet to split catching work.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely back for 2024
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald speculates Fortes will remain with the Marlins in 2024 as a backup catcher.
ANALYSIS
Fortes and Jacob Stallings split most of the catching work for the Marlins in 2023, but neither backstop provided much value offensively. Stallings is a candidate to be non-tendered this offseason, while Fortes' pre-arbitration salary should allow him to stick around as a potential backup. The 26-year-old struggled to a .204/.263/.299 slash line in 108 games, but it appears he'll have another chance with the big club in 2024.
