Kyle Higashioka powers Padres to 7-0 rout over Mets
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 8:00am EDT
Kyle Higashioka had a productive outing, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in the Padres' dominant 7-0 victory over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance today highlighted his potential for power, contributing significantly to the team's offense. Despite a modest .226 batting average over the season, Higashioka's ability to drive in runs (42 RBI in 62 games) and his 15 home runs suggest he can be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in formats that reward power numbers. While his high strikeout rate and low walk rate might raise concerns, his impact in the power categories could offset those drawbacks in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups.
