MJ Melendez Homers in Royals' Shutout Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Royals Correspondent | Thu, Aug 22nd 7:11am EDT
MJ Melendez went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI as the Royals blanked the Angels 3-0.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, though it's a small bright spot in an otherwise dim season. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .206 and a concerning strikeout rate of 24.7%, Melendez's fantasy value remains a risky proposition. His power numbers, with 15 homers, provide some upside, but his low BABIP of .229 suggests he's had some bad luck, though not enough to excuse the poor average. Owners should keep expectations tempered; he's a potential power source, but the average and on-base percentages could be a drag.
