Jeff McNeil powers Mets past Marlins with key hits
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sat, Aug 17th 8:44am EDT
Jeff McNeil delivered a solid performance in the Mets' 7-3 victory over the Marlins, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, and one run scored.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat underwhelming season for McNeil, who is hitting just .240 over 114 games. His home run in this game brings his season total to 12, and the two RBI increase his tally to 40. Despite the lower batting average, McNeil's ability to contribute with extra-base hits and drive in runs can still make him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues, especially in formats that value doubles and home runs. His consistent contact skills, evidenced by a relatively low strikeout rate, suggest potential for batting average improvement as the season progresses.
