Zack Gelof Powers A's to Victory with Solo Homer
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Jun 20th 8:41am EDT
Zack Gelof went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Athletics' 5-1 win over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
The solo shot marked his seventh homer of the season, contributing modestly to his overall power numbers. Despite the highlight of a home run, Gelof's season has been a struggle, batting just .196 through 55 games. His high strikeout rate of 34.7% and low walk rate of 6.3% continue to be areas of concern, limiting his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should view Gelof as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues for his occasional power and speed contributions. His performance in this game does little to suggest a significant turnaround, so expectations should be tempered.
