Jakob Junis Solid in Loss to Cardinals
by Chase Davis | Reds Correspondent | Fri, Sep 13th 8:18am EDT
Jakob Junis delivered a solid start, allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out three over five innings in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the solid performance, the lack of run support and a quick hook after just 69 pitches limited his ability to factor into the decision. Junis's season ERA nudged slightly upward to 2.73, maintaining his impressive WHIP at 0.89 through 22 appearances. His consistent control, evidenced by a stellar 6.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward precision and efficiency over sheer strikeout totals. However, his moderate strikeout rate of 6.8 K/9 might cap his ceiling in categories heavily skewed towards strikeouts.
