Casey Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Giants' 6-0 victory over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a crucial home run that contributed significantly to the team's win. Despite a challenging season with a batting average of just .208 over 26 games, Schmitt's recent outing could hint at a turning point. His power potential is evident with five homers in limited at-bats, but his overall production has been hampered by a low BABIP of .193, suggesting some bad luck. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Schmitt for signs of sustained improvement, especially in deeper leagues where power is at a premium. His low walk rate and high strikeout rate remain concerns, but any uptick in hitting consistency could make him a valuable asset down the stretch.
