Ian Happ Shows Speed, Cubs Dominate Pirates 18-8
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 6:14am EDT
Ian Happ went 2-for-3 with a double and two stolen bases in the Cubs' overwhelming 18-8 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not driving in any runs or scoring himself, Happ's ability to get on base and swipe bags highlighted his performance. This season, Happ's batting average sits at a modest .237, but his knack for extra-base hits and now a total of 13 stolen bases adds a valuable dimension to fantasy rosters, especially in categories leagues. His consistent power numbers with 23 homers and a .345 wOBA make him a viable outfield option, though his high strikeout rate could be a concern for average-focused managers.
