Fantasy Impact

He threw 24 pitches over 1.1 innings, allowing no hits and striking out two, while walking one to notch his second save of the season. This outing continues a trend of effectiveness for Lange, characterized by a stellar 0.75 ERA and a high strikeout rate of 12 K/9. Despite a slightly concerning WHIP of 1.17, his ability to maintain a low ERA and accumulate strikeouts makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward saves and strikeouts. His performance should solidify his role in high-leverage situations, though his walk rate could be a slight concern for WHIP-sensitive formats.
