Semien Swats Homer, Rangers Fall Hard
by Jesse Garcia | Rangers Correspondent | Thu, Sep 12th 7:45am EDT
Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 in the Rangers' heavy 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, including a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's struggles, Semien's power stroke was on display as he added his 20th homer of the season. His batting average remains a modest .238 through 143 games, and while his power numbers are respectable, his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent. Fantasy managers should appreciate the home runs and RBI but remain wary of the low batting average and modest on-base skills, as evidenced by his .304 wOBA and .253 BABIP. Semien's ability to contribute in multiple categories keeps him relevant, but expectations should be tempered given the overall hitting metrics.
