Mark Vientos Powers Up, Mets Fall Short in 7-6 Loss
by Chase Davis | Mets Correspondent | Fri, Aug 16th 8:48am EDT
Mark Vientos made his presence felt despite the Mets' narrow defeat, going 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance highlighted his power-hitting capabilities, as he drove in and scored a couple of crucial runs for his team. Vientos's season has been marked by solid power numbers, now tallying 19 homers and 48 RBI through 73 games. His consistent slugging, evidenced by a .377 wOBA, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly for those in need of home runs and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate of 25% remains a concern, potentially impacting his batting average and on-base opportunities. Fantasy managers should continue to leverage his power but be wary of the potential for batting average dips due to strikeouts.
