by Matthew Adam | Mets Correspondent | Tue, Aug 20th 6:25am EDT
J.D. Martinez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Mets' 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo blast contributed crucially to the narrow victory, showcasing his power even as his average remains a modest .253 for the season. With 13 homers and 57 RBI through 94 games, Martinez continues to be a valuable source of power and RBI for fantasy teams, despite a concerning strikeout rate of 27.8%. His ability to drive in runs and hit for power should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats, though managers might need to mitigate his impact on batting average in roto leagues.
