Nico Hoerner Shows Speed in Cubs' Narrow Loss
by Chase Davis | Cubs Correspondent | Fri, May 3rd 9:11am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in the Cubs' 7-6 defeat to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's loss, Hoerner had his first multi-steal performance of the season. It's been an underwhelming start to the season for him in terms of speed but this performance underscores his ability to rack up steals in bunches. However, his modest .271 batting average and low power numbers (zero home runs and seven RBI in 31 games) limit his appeal primarily to categories that reward speed and runs scored. His consistent contact rate and low strikeout percentage are positives, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for significant contributions in other statistical areas.
