2025 Fantasy Outlook
Stallings enjoyed a resurgent season with Colorado in 2024 after being cut loose by Miami, and he re-signed with the Rockies for 2025. The veteran backstop had two putrid years with the Marlins, during which he posted a .576 OPS, but he rebounded with the Rockies last season and had a .263/.357/.453 slash line with nine home runs in 82 games. Surprisingly, he actually performed better on the road than at Coors Field with an .827 OPS and .795 OPS, respectively. Despite the strong numbers, Stallings is likely to begin 2025 in a timeshare behind the plate. He's entering his age-35 campaign, and prospect Drew Romo should receive plenty of opportunities after making his debut late last year. Stallings could have some appeal in NL-only leagues and as a streaming option, but he likely won't see enough volume to be viable in most formats. Read Past Outlooks

Re-ups with Colorado
CColorado Rockies
November 20, 2024
The Rockies re-signed Stallings on Wednesday to a one-year, $2 million contract with a $2 million mutual option for 2026.
ANALYSIS
Stallings declined his portion of a mutual option for 2025 earlier this month but is now back in Colorado on a new deal. The veteran catcher slashed .263/.357/.453 with nine homers over 82 games for the Rockies in 2024. Stallings will likely share catching duties with Drew Romo in 2025, although Hunter Goodman could also be in the mix.

Farm Futures: Rookie Infielder Targets
Farm Futures: Rookie Infielder Targets

James Anderson highlights his favorite prospects to target at each infield position, featuring several strong rookie targets at catcher and second base, including Blue Jays second baseman Will Wagner.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
2017
The 2021 Gold Glove Award winner had spent much of the past two seasons in a near-even timeshare at catcher with Nick Fortes in Miami, but Stallings now finds himself as the clear No. 2 option in Colorado after signing a one-year deal with the club in January. He adds little with the bat, but could be an option in deeper formats since he plays his home games in Coors Field.
Stallings is a fantasy second catcher who happens to be the primary catcher for his real-life ballclub. We normally like these options because it means more playing time, but Stallings does not do much of anything with the excessive playing time. Prior to the Universal DH, he was an ideal 8th place hitter who accepted his walks and provided some value in OBP formats but he lost that redeeming quality last season and became a zero category player who got nearly 400 plate appearances. Defensively, he is both a poor framer and thrower, so extra time behind the plate will impact the staff as they adjust to the running game changes this season. In two-catcher leagues, someone has to roster Stallings, but do not let that person be you as there is simply zero upside to this profile.
Stallings spent his first six major-league seasons in Pittsburgh, and he appeared in a career-high 112 games during the 2021 season. He hit .246 with eight home runs, 53 RBI and 38 runs last year and appears to be in line to serve as the Marlins' primary catcher in 2022.
It took Stallings until his fifth season in the big leagues to earn an everyday role. Defense has been his calling card, and that has not disappointed at the big-league level, but offensively, there has been little to get excited about. The high strikeout rate in 2020 stands out, particularly because it was not due to him expanding his zone. In fact, he had a very low Chase%, so his strikeouts were mainly due to him just not swinging as often (his overall Swing% dropped from 50.7% to 38.4% last season). The overall passive approach led to a higher walk rate, but also led to him falling behind in too many counts. The increase in flyballs was intriguing. Perhaps some more aggressiveness within the count will unlock some hidden offensive potential in this now 30-year-old backstop.
Stallings is a great second catcher in that he hits enough to not completely hurt you and plays strong enough defense to demand a decent share of a platoon. His expected stats in 2019 validate his actual batting average last year, which is what you will want to focus on as you plan your 2020 NL-only draft. Stallings doesn't have much power, so his fantasy value is tied to his batting average and his ability to hit doubles to drive in runners. He is out of minor-league options in 2020 and tentatively sits atop the depth chart in Pittsburgh after Elias Diaz was non-tendered. That said, Stallings will have to fend off Luke Maile for primary duties in spring training.
After parts of five seasons in the minors, Stallings made his major league debut in 2016. He collected six hits in 15 at-bats, including a memorable two-run, walkoff single against the Nationals in September. With a career line of .237/.316/.356 in the minors, Stallings' biggest claim to fame might be as the son to Pitt's basketball coach, Kevin Stallings. He cleared midseason waivers with all teams passing on him, something fantasy owners can comfortably do, too.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Decent trade value?
CColorado Rockies
May 31, 2024
The Rockies could look to trade one of Stallings or Elias Diaz this summer, per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post.
ANALYSIS
Stallings posted a sub-.600 OPS during his two years in Miami and latched on with Colorado on a one-year contract during the offseason. He's enjoyed a resurgence as the backup to Elias Diaz and has a .319/.400/.507 slash line in 25 games. Both Diaz and Stallings are on expiring contracts, so it would make sense for the Rockies to deal at least one of them ahead of the summer deadline.
