Kyle Higashioka powers Padres past Red Sox

Fantasy Impact:

He went 1-for-3 with a home run, one run scored, two RBI, and a walk. Higashioka's blast adds to a season where he's now tallied nine homers, despite a modest .211 batting average through 33 games. His power can be a boon for fantasy teams in need of home runs and RBI from the catcher position, but his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a concern for those in average-based leagues. His ability to draw walks remains limited, further impacting his on-base percentage. Fantasy managers should consider him a power-first option, useful in deeper leagues or two-catcher formats.
