Jalen Beeks holds steady in relief against Royals
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 10:19am EDT
Jalen Beeks pitched a solid inning of relief in Friday's 4-2 victory over the Royals, allowing two hits and striking out one without surrendering any runs.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance, though brief, was effective, maintaining his ERA at a respectable 4.09 while his WHIP nudged slightly to 1.27. Beeks's role as a reliable bullpen option continues, and while his strikeout rate isn't eye-popping, his ability to limit walks and keep the ball in play (evidenced by a .276 BABIP) adds a layer of dependability. Fantasy managers should view Beeks as a steady, if not spectacular, contributor in formats that reward holds and innings pitched without heavily penalizing for lack of strikeouts.
