Jonny DeLuca shines in Rays' dominant win over Orioles
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 9:08am EDT
Jonny DeLuca went 3-for-5 in the Rays' 7-1 victory over the Orioles, including a triple and scoring twice.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while impressive, does little to mask the struggles DeLuca has faced this season, batting just .210 through 92 games. His ability to hit for extra bases with a triple today hints at potential, but his overall production remains lackluster with a low wOBA of .267 and a BABIP of .259, indicating he hasn't been particularly unlucky, just underperforming. Fantasy managers should remain cautious; while games like today show his capabilities, his season-long inconsistency makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
