Nico Hoerner Swipes Base, Scores in Cubs' Loss
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Jun 25th 6:42am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in the Cubs' 5-4 defeat to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
While Hoerner's multi-hit game is a bright spot, his season-long batting average of .241 and modest power numbers (only 2 homers and 18 RBI through 70 games) continue to limit his fantasy appeal. His value remains primarily in leagues that reward stolen bases, where his 12 steals are a useful contribution. The lack of consistent run production and power, combined with a middling .294 wOBA, suggests that fantasy managers should temper expectations for significant improvement in other categories.
