Lars Nootbaar Shines Despite Cardinals' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Cardinals Correspondent | Thu, Jul 11th 8:55am EDT
Lars Nootbaar went 2-for-4 in the Cardinals' 8-5 defeat to the Royals, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in one RBI while scoring twice.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, featuring his sixth homer of the season, offers a glimpse of potential amidst a somewhat lackluster season marked by a .235 batting average. Nootbaar's power display could hint at an uptick in production, especially considering his solid .326 wOBA, which suggests he's been somewhat effective at the plate despite a relatively low batting average and BABIP (.273). Fantasy managers should keep an eye on him for potential spot starts or as a bench asset, particularly in deeper leagues or formats that reward extra-base hits.
