Tyler Stephenson powers Reds past Pirates
by Chris Schommer | Reds Correspondent | Sat, Sep 21st 11:31am EDT
Tyler Stephenson went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three runs scored, and five RBI in the Reds' 8-3 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores a solid season for Stephenson, who has now tallied 19 homers and 64 RBI through 131 games. His .265 batting average and .345 wOBA are respectable, especially for a catcher, and today's game could be a sign of him turning up the heat as the season winds down. While the strikeouts are a bit of a concern, his ability to drive in runs and hit for power makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. Keep an eye on him for consistent production, particularly in RBI opportunities.
