Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings. Cecconi's performance was a step in the right direction, especially considering his manageable ERA of 4.15 and stellar WHIP of 0.88 this season. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (7.1 K/9), his ability to limit hits, as evidenced by a .164 BABIP, continues to make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his moderate FIP of 5.10 suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his reliability as a consistent starter. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his command and ability to maintain low-scoring outings.

Slade Cecconi had a rough outing, allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4 1/3 innings in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marked a significant setback for Cecconi, whose ERA ballooned to 4.96, contrasting sharply with his previously impressive WHIP of 0.80 and K/9 of 8.3. Despite a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio and a low BABIP, his susceptibility to big innings is becoming a concern. Fantasy managers should be wary of his volatility, especially in matchups against high-scoring teams, as his fielding independent pitching suggests some underlying issues that could lead to more rough starts.

Slade Cecconi will start against the Padres on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

The move will move Cecconi up one day as the team provides Zac Gallen with extra rest. The 24-year-old has a 2.25 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts in two appearances this season.

Slade Cecconi delivered a strong performance in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings. Despite his solid outing, Cecconi's record moved to an even 1-1. With a season ERA now standing at 2.25 and a WHIP of 0.50, Cecconi continues to impress in the early stages of the season. His high strikeout-to-walk ratio and low BABIP suggest some level of overperformance, but his ability to maintain high strikeout numbers provides real value in fantasy formats. Owners should monitor his performance closely, as regression could occur, but for now, he remains a viable starting option in most leagues.
