Emerson Hancock struggles in loss to Blue Jays
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 7:18am EDT
Emerson Hancock allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bit of a grind for Hancock, who needed 93 pitches to get through just four frames, indicating inefficiency that has been somewhat characteristic this season. His ERA nudged up to 4.76, and with a WHIP of 1.32 and a low strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9, his fantasy value remains limited. The 5.51 FIP suggests underlying issues that could continue to inflate his ERA, and with a modest strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.00, Hancock's ability to mitigate damage in tough innings is questionable. Fantasy managers should consider these metrics carefully, especially in leagues where pitching depth is critical.
