Jose Butto Shines in Relief, Mets Top Nationals
by Jesse Garcia | Mets Correspondent | Thu, Jul 11th 8:30am EDT
Jose Butto delivered a flawless performance on Wednesday, tossing 1.1 innings of no-hit ball while striking out two in the Mets' 6-2 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a sharp display of efficiency, needing just 15 pitches to breeze through his appearance. Butto's season has been marked by a strong 2.72 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP, indicators of his solid command and ability to limit base runners. His 8.6 K/9 ratio shows he has decent strikeout potential, although his 1.78 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests there's room for improvement in his control. Nonetheless, his performance against the Nationals reinforces his value in formats that reward middle relief appearances, particularly in leagues that count holds or value WHIP and ERA. He earned his first save of the season in the win over Washington.
