Jonah Bride's Power Show Not Enough in Loss
by Chase Davis | Marlins Correspondent | Sat, Aug 3rd 9:52am EDT
Jonah Bride went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 5-3 defeat to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite striking out three times, Bride managed to contribute significantly with a solo home run, driving in two of the team's three runs. This performance slightly uplifts his season batting average to .265 and brings his RBI total to 9 through 19 games. While his strikeout rate remains a concern at 31.5%, his ability to connect for power, as evidenced by his second homer of the season, could offer some upside for fantasy managers in need of occasional power boosts from the hot corner. However, his inconsistent on-base skills, highlighted by a low 5.6% walk rate, might limit his overall fantasy impact unless he can find more consistency at the plate.
