Williamson's Solid Start Not Enough in Reds' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Thu, Sep 12th 8:11am EDT
Brandon Williamson delivered a quality start, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the solid performance, Williamson's efforts weren't enough to secure a win for the Reds, leaving his record unblemished at 0-0. His season ERA now sits at an impressive 2.08, complemented by a 0.77 WHIP, indicating strong control and efficiency on the mound. However, his 4.72 FIP suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his future outings. Fantasy managers should appreciate his low ERA and WHIP, but remain cautious of potential regression, especially given the unsustainable .188 BABIP. Williamson remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues, but monitoring his FIP and BABIP trends will be crucial for assessing his long-term value.
