Ortiz Homers, But Brewers Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Brewers Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:00pm EDT
Joey Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Brewers' 4-3 loss to the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Ortiz's performance was a silver lining as he added to his home run tally, bringing his season total to eight. This season, Ortiz has been a moderate contributor in terms of power and run production, with a .252 average and 39 RBI over 97 games. His ability to connect for extra-base hits, evidenced by his 17 doubles and three triples, along with a decent wOBA, suggests potential value in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low batting average might limit his appeal in shallower or average-based formats.
