Christopher Morel's slump continues in Cubs' victory
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 9:56am EDT
Christopher Morel went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts as the Cubs topped the Angels 5-1.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's success, Morel's personal struggles at the plate persisted, as evidenced by his lone single and multiple strikeouts. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .198 and a concerning strikeout rate of 23.3%, Morel's fantasy relevance continues to wane. His power numbers with 15 homers provide some upside, but the lack of consistent contact and on-base skills caps his overall value. Fantasy managers should consider Morel a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues for his occasional power outbursts.
