Ryan Mountcastle homers in Orioles' heavy loss
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sun, Jul 7th 8:35am EDT
Ryan Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Orioles' 19-8 defeat to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's rough outing, Mountcastle managed to add a little shine to his personal stats, contributing his 12th homer of the season. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .271 batting average and a .329 wOBA, which are respectable numbers, though his low walk rate (.059) and high strikeout rate (0.209) continue to be areas of concern. Mountcastle's power remains a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, but his lack of discipline at the plate could limit his ceiling. Moving forward, fantasy managers should consider him a reliable source of home runs and RBIs, though his overall impact might be capped by his on-base deficiencies.
