Austin Kitchen torched by Phillies in rough outing
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, Sep 7th 9:18am EDT
Austin Kitchen allowed six earned runs on nine hits while striking out one in a disastrous performance against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing only inflates his already bloated ERA to 14.14 and WHIP to 2.71 for the season, signaling ongoing struggles in his pitching mechanics and command. With a K/9 of just 5.1 and a high BABIP of .455, Kitchen's ability to effectively manage contact and miss bats is severely lacking. Fantasy managers should view him as a liability in all formats, and his role in high-leverage situations will likely remain limited unless significant improvements are seen.
