Drew Thorpe dazzles in tight victory over Marlins
by Chris Schommer | White Sox Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 10:06am EDT
Drew Thorpe delivered a strong outing, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's 3-2 win against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance not only secured his third win of the season but also demonstrated his ability to handle pressure situations effectively. Thorpe's season ERA now improves to 3.71, and his WHIP slightly tightens to 1.13, reflecting a consistent ability to limit base runners. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (6.1 K/9), his control seems to be improving, which could hint at more quality starts ahead if he maintains this form. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; his low BABIP (.184) suggests some luck in play, potentially inflating his effectiveness. Moving forward, Thorpe could be a viable option in deeper leagues, particularly if he continues to demonstrate control and efficiency on the mound.
