Fantasy Impact

This outing boosts his season totals to 25 home runs and 84 RBIs. Despite the Cubs' loss, Happ's power display underscores his ability to contribute significantly in the power categories for fantasy managers. His consistent power stroke, combined with a solid .347 wOBA, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBIs. However, his high strikeout rate (.260) continues to be a concern, potentially impacting his batting average and on-base opportunities.

Ian Happ went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Cubs' 9-5 defeat to the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite reaching base twice, once via a walk, Happ's contributions weren't enough to sway the outcome in favor of Chicago. This season, Happ's batting average sits at .243, with his power numbers being relatively solid, including 23 homers and 81 RBI over 140 games. His consistent power and ability to draw walks (73 this season) keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that value on-base percentage. However, his high strikeout rate (160 strikeouts) remains a concern for batting average stability. Moving forward, fantasy managers should continue to value Happ for his power and run production, while being wary of the potential drag on batting average.

This season, Happ's batting average sits at a modest .237, but his knack for extra-base hits and now a total of 13 stolen bases adds a valuable dimension to fantasy rosters, especially in categories leagues. His consistent power numbers with 23 homers and a .345 wOBA make him a viable outfield option, though his high strikeout rate could be a concern for average-focused managers.

However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a concern for average-focused leagues.
