His outing was efficient, requiring just eight pitches to complete a clean inning, which added another save to his season tally. This performance underscores Jax's rebound from any previous inconsistencies, particularly noting his solid season-long stats including a 2.10 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.9 K/9) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.07) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward saves and holds. While the six blown saves this season might raise some eyebrows, his overall reliability in high-leverage situations cannot be overlooked.
