Zack Littell Shines in Shutout Against Red Sox
by Chase Davis | Rays Correspondent | Fri, Sep 20th 8:01am EDT
Zack Littell delivered a masterful performance, allowing just one hit and zero runs while striking out seven across seven innings in Thursday's 2-0 victory over the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a season of ups and downs for Littell, whose ERA dipped to 3.56 and WHIP improved to 1.24. His command was on full display, as evidenced by not issuing a single walk and maintaining a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio, now standing at 4.32. Given his solid K/9 rate and consistent ability to limit base hits as reflected by a .308 BABIP, Littell's latest performance could be a sign of turning the corner towards more reliable starts. Fantasy managers should consider this outing when evaluating Littell's role in their rotation, especially in leagues that reward deeper pitching metrics.
