Cedric Mullins Shines with Power and Speed in Orioles' Victory
by Chase Davis | Orioles Correspondent | Fri, Aug 16th 8:22am EDT
Cedric Mullins II went 1-for-2 in the Orioles' 5-1 win over the Red Sox, contributing with a home run, one run scored, one RBI, and a stolen base.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, though impactful, highlights the ongoing struggle Mullins has faced this season, batting just .224. Despite the low average, his combination of power and speed remains evident, with 13 homers and 20 stolen bases on the year. Fantasy managers should value his multi-category contributions, particularly in leagues that reward stolen bases and home runs, but be wary of the batting average drag. His ability to draw walks and occasional power surges could make him a situational play based on matchups.
