Joey Gallo Packs a Punch but Nats Fall Short
by Chase Davis | Nationals Correspondent | Fri, Sep 20th 8:49am EDT
Joey Gallo went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Nationals' 7-6 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Nationals' defeat, Gallo's performance was a bright spot, delivering a crucial home run that contributed significantly to his RBI total for the season. However, his season-long struggles at the plate are evident with a meager .155 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 39.2%. While the power is still apparent, as shown by his eight homers in 68 games, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Gallo's ability to drive in runs and hit long balls does offer some value in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward power numbers, but his batting average and strikeout issues continue to limit his overall fantasy appeal.
