Josh Hader shuts down Angels, secures save in tight contest
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sat, Sep 21st 10:25am EDT
Josh Hader delivered a flawless performance, tossing 16 pitches over a clean inning with two strikeouts to notch a save as the Astros edged out the Angels 9-7 on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a textbook display of Hader's capabilities, reinforcing his role as a reliable closer for Houston. With a season ERA now sitting at 3.16 and a WHIP of 0.88, his dominance is evident, especially with his impressive 13.3 K/9 rate. Fantasy managers should continue to value Hader highly, as his ability to rack up strikeouts and saves, coupled with a low BABIP of .206, makes him a top-tier option in all formats. His performance in high-pressure situations, like today's, only bolsters his standing as one of the elite closers in the game.
