Josh Hader shuts down Rangers, secures save
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sat, Jul 13th 6:36am EDT
Josh Hader delivered a flawless performance, striking out two in a clean inning to notch the save as the Astros topped the Rangers 6-3.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a textbook display of Hader's capabilities, utilizing just 13 pitches to secure his 18th save of the season. His season-long metrics, including a 3.86 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP, underscore his reliability, despite the ERA being slightly elevated. His impressive 14.4 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and saves. Moving forward, Hader remains a top-tier closer option, though his ERA suggests some caution. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate paired with a solid WHIP should keep him relevant in all fantasy formats.
