"Farmer spent the 2025 season with the Colorado Rockies, where he put up some underwhelming plate numbers with a .227/.280/.365 slash line to go along with eight home runs, a .285 wOBA and 65 wRC+ over the course of 97 games played and 300 plate appearances. That ended up being good for an fWAR number of -1.0, which ain't ideal!"
"He recorded -5 Outs Above Average in 2025 (good for the 11th percentile in all of baseball, according to Statcast) and his arm strength didn't fare much better, either. With that being said, that's likely the outlier because Farmer has had some good-to-great seasons with the glove. Again, 2021 comes to mind which is when he recorded 5 OAA (grading him out to the 92nd percentile)"
The Atlanta Braves added Kyle Farmer to their spring training non-roster invitee list. Farmer produced a .227/.280/.365 slash line with eight home runs, a .285 wOBA, 65 wRC+, and -1.0 fWAR across 97 games and 300 plate appearances in 2025 with the Colorado Rockies. Offensive metrics show a historically light bat, with a career-best 91 wRC+ in 2021. Defensive metrics are mixed: -5 OAA (11th percentile) in 2025, but 5 OAA (92nd percentile) in both 2021 and 2024. A change of scenery could restore prior defensive form and position him as a late-inning defensive option.
