Despite a shaky performance that saw him struggle with control and fail to dominate in strikeouts, Hancock was spared a loss thanks to his team's late offensive surge to secure a 7-6 victory. This outing underscores a season marred by inconsistency, evidenced by a ballooning 4.75 ERA and a modest 5.8 K/9 rate. His WHIP of 1.34 and FIP of 5.78 suggest that improvements are necessary if he aims to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations. Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Hancock as a risky play.

This performance, marked by efficiency and control, particularly with no walks issued, provided a glimpse of stability in what has been a turbulent season for Hancock. With a season ERA of 4.72 and a WHIP of 1.30, his fantasy relevance has been limited, primarily due to a low strikeout rate (5.9 K/9). However, his ability to manage games without surrendering free passes, as evidenced by a 2.40 strikeout-to-walk ratio, keeps him on the radar as a potential streaming option in deeper leagues or during favorable matchups. His consistent BABIP of .269 suggests that his results aren't heavily influenced by luck, indicating potential for similar performances moving forward.

This outing was emblematic of Hancock's season struggles, characterized by a high ERA of 4.83 and a modest strikeout rate of 5.9 K/9. Despite escaping with a no-decision, his inability to pitch deeper into games and a concerning 5.52 FIP suggest limited upside for fantasy managers. Hancock's WHIP of 1.33 further underscores his inconsistency in controlling the base paths, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.
