Derek Hill Homers in Marlins' Loss to Rockies
by Jesse Garcia | Marlins Correspondent | Thu, Aug 29th 7:49am EDT
Derek Hill went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI as the Marlins fell to the Rockies 8-2.
Fantasy Impact:
This solo shot marks Hill's fifth homer of the season, contributing to his modest total of 21 RBI. Despite the power display, Hill's season batting average sits at a lackluster .233, and his high strikeout rate of .324 continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His limited on-base skills, highlighted by a mere .029 walk rate, cap his scoring potential, making him a fringe option in deeper fantasy leagues. His speed has not been a significant factor either, with only five steals on the year. Overall, Hill's fantasy value remains limited to formats that reward power without penalizing strikeouts heavily.
