Alec Marsh delivered a strong performance on Friday, tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and two walks, and striking out six in a 9-4 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a solid start to his season, now holding a 3.22 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP through four starts. His ability to maintain a low BABIP of .254 and a healthy strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.20 suggests that he could be stabilizing as a reliable option in fantasy rotations, especially in deeper leagues. While his K/9 rate of 6.4 might not dazzle, his efficiency and control are compensating factors that can contribute positively to fantasy teams looking for consistent starting pitching.
