Nelson Velazquez delivers in Royals' narrow victory
by Chris Schommer | Royals Correspondent | Sat, Jun 8th 9:29am EDT
Nelson Velazquez went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the Royals' 10-9 win over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
While his batting average for the season remains a modest .216, Velazquez's ability to drive in runs and score himself was crucial in the tightly contested game. His season totals now include 25 RBI and 28 runs scored in 53 games, reflecting some level of productivity despite a high strikeout rate of .289. Velazquez's performance in clutch situations, like this game, might make him a situational pick in deeper fantasy leagues, but his overall inconsistency at the plate suggests caution for standard league players.
