2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Heads to bench Thursday
Fortes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The Marlins continue to embrace a timeshare behind the plate, as Fortes and Christian Bethancourt have now made four starts apiece at catcher through Miami's first eight games. One of the two catchers may separate himself from the other from a performance standpoint and eventually emerge as the clear No. 1 option, but Fortes hasn't done much to distinguish himself thus far. Through his first four starts, Fortes has gone 1-for-12 with a double and also reached base when he was hit by a pitch.

Stat Review
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. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fortes saw his first extended action in the majors last season and had a .230/.304/.392 slash line in 72 games. He hit nine home runs and stole five bases, the latter of which is surprising given he entered the campaign with just eight steals in his professional career. Fortes should open 2023 in a backup role behind Jacob Stallings, but he could see a larger share of playing time if Stallings continues to struggle after he posted a .584 OPS in 2022.
