Brad Keller stumbles in season debut against Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | White Sox Correspondent | Sat, May 4th 7:39am EDT
Brad Keller allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marked Keller's first start of the season, and it was a rocky debut, reflected by his elevated 4.26 ERA and 1.42 WHIP. His performance today didn't do much to inspire confidence among fantasy managers, especially considering the lack of run support from his team. While his 8.5 K/9 indicates some strikeout ability, his 1.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests control issues that could hamper his effectiveness in future outings. Fantasy managers should be cautious with Keller, as his ability to pitch deeper into games and control his walks will be critical to his success and fantasy relevance.
