Oneil Cruz swings a decent bat, but Pirates fall short
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 8:43am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the Pirates' 8-6 loss to the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Cruz's performance was a modest highlight, adding a double to his season tally and driving in a run. His season batting average holds at .270, with a solid .334 wOBA indicating decent offensive production. However, his high strikeout rate of 30.6% continues to be a concern for fantasy managers, potentially capping his value due to lost opportunities. While Cruz offers some power and speed with 18 homers and 21 steals, his inconsistency at the plate might make him a risky play in less forgiving fantasy formats.
