Austin Hedges powers Guardians to victory over Angels
by Chris Schommer | Guardians Correspondent | Sun, May 5th 8:54am EDT
Austin Hedges went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Guardians' 7-1 triumph over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a two-run home run, contributing significantly to the team's win. Despite this flash of power, Hedges's season has been lackluster, with a meager .133 batting average and limited production across 10 games. His power stroke in this game might catch the eye of fantasy managers in deep leagues or those in desperate need of a catcher, but his high strikeout rate (35.5%) and non-existent walk rate suggest extreme caution. Hedges remains a risky play, primarily valuable in formats that reward power numbers from the catcher position without penalizing batting average heavily.
