Bryan De La Cruz Homers, But Pirates Fall to Brewers
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Sep 27th 8:24am EDT
Bryan De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Pirates' 5-2 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to his season tally, bringing his home run count to 21 and his RBI total to 68. Despite the power display, De La Cruz's season has been marred by a low batting average (.234) and high strikeout rate (27.2%), limiting his fantasy appeal primarily to deeper leagues where power is scarce. His modest .282 wOBA underscores the challenges he faces in becoming a consistent fantasy contributor. Moving forward, managers should temper expectations, considering him mainly in matchups where his power could exploit favorable pitching.
