Brandon Pfaadt

Brandon Pfaadt endured a rough outing in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks over six innings, striking out none. This performance marked a deviation from his usual strikeout capabilities, as evidenced by his season K/9 of 8.0. The lack of strikeouts in this game could be a concerning sign, particularly when combined with his escalating ERA, now at 4.60. Pfaadt's WHIP remains decent at 1.19, suggesting some control, but his inability to miss bats in this outing could hint at potential struggles ahead if not quickly rectified. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely for signs of improvement or further regression.

Fantasy Impact

The lack of walks was a small silver lining in an otherwise disappointing performance that saw his ERA rise to 4.61. Despite a solid season-long K/9 of 9.2 and an excellent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 7.00, Pfaadt's ability to limit damage has been inconsistent, as evidenced by his elevated BABIP of .325. This outing underscores some of the volatility associated with Pfaadt, making him a risky play in fantasy lineups, particularly against high-powered offenses. His strong underlying metrics suggest potential, but fantasy managers should tread carefully, monitoring his starts for signs of improvement or further regression.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid outing, Pfaadt's season ERA slightly improved to 4.97, and his WHIP remained steady at 1.17. His ability to limit hits was a positive takeaway, but the walks continue to be a concern. With a K/9 rate of 8.4 and a strong 4.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Pfaadt remains a viable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues.

Brandon Pfaadt delivered a quality start but took the loss in Wednesday's 5-3 defeat to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched seven innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits, striking out six without issuing a walk. Despite the loss, this performance was a step in the right direction for Pfaadt, who entered the game with a bloated 6.48 ERA and 1.38 WHIP from his first three starts. His ability to avoid walks and maintain a high strikeout rate was on display, which should provide some comfort to fantasy managers rattled by his rocky start to the season. However, his elevated BABIP and ERA suggest there might still be some bumps ahead.
