Nico Hoerner Powers Up, Cubs Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Cubs Correspondent | Thu, Sep 26th 6:16am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in the Cubs' 9-6 loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Delivering a pair of homers in a single game, Hoerner showcased a rare power surge that hasn't been typical this season, considering his total of seven home runs over 148 games. Despite the loss, his performance was a silver lining and could hint at an untapped power potential as he continues to develop. Fantasy managers should note this display of power, but also temper expectations as his season-long slugging hasn't been a standout feature. His consistent batting average and speed on the bases remain his primary fantasy assets.
