Jacob Young Shines Despite Nationals' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Nationals Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:52pm EDT
Jacob Young went 2-for-4 in the Nationals' 6-4 loss to the Angels, including a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, featuring his first homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who've watched Young struggle to make a significant impact with a modest .250 batting average over 108 games. His speed has been a consistent asset, with 27 stolen bases, but his power display has been lacking until now. While this game might hint at a potential uptick in power, his overall season metrics suggest caution. Managers should view Young as a speed-first option with limited power contributions, useful primarily in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when steals are needed.
