Shane Baz shines in Rays' rout of Padres
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sun, Sep 1st 8:31am EDT
Shane Baz delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 11-4 victory over the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a decent display of control and efficiency from Baz, especially considering his season-long metrics. With a 3.49 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP through nine starts, Baz has been a reliable option, albeit with a lower-than-desirable strikeout rate (7.5 K/9) and a slightly elevated FIP (4.20). His performance today, particularly in limiting hits, should reassure fantasy managers about his place in their rotations. However, his moderate strikeout numbers and walk rate suggest a cautious approach in matchups against high-scoring teams.
