Spencer Turnbull dazzles in dominant shutout
by Chris Schommer | Phillies Correspondent | Sat, Apr 20th 9:10am EDT
Spencer Turnbull turned in a masterful performance on Friday, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings in the Phillies' 7-0 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing further cements his status as a rising fantasy asset, lowering his ERA to an impressive 1.23 and WHIP to 0.77 through his first four starts of the season. With a K/9 rate holding steady at 9.0 and a FIP of 2.94, Turnbull is showing signs of genuine breakout potential. Fantasy managers should note his exceptionally low BABIP of .167, which might suggest some regression is on the horizon, but his strong strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.14 indicates that he can mitigate some of the impacts when batters do start finding holes. Overall, Turnbull's early-season dominance makes him a must-start in all formats, and if he's still somehow available on waivers, he's worth a bid.
