Fantasy Impact

This outing has further inflated his already concerning 5.08 ERA and 1.42 WHIP for the season. His low strikeout rate of 3.0 K/9 continues to limit his fantasy upside, and a 5.42 FIP suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should view Kochanowicz as a risky play in all formats, given his performance trends and lack of dominance on the mound. His role in the Angels' rotation could be in jeopardy if improvements aren't seen soon.

Jack Kochanowicz endured a first inning before bouncing back, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

The right-hander failed to record a strikeout, which continues to underscore his season-long struggle with punchouts, maintaining a meager 2.8 K/9 rate. With this performance, Kochanowicz's ERA nudged up to 4.89, and his WHIP stands at 1.42, reflecting ongoing challenges in limiting base runners. His lack of strikeout ability significantly caps his fantasy upside, making him a risky play in most formats. Given his high FIP of 5.25 and low strikeout-to-walk ratio, fantasy managers should be cautious, as these indicators suggest potential for further regression.

Jack Kochanowicz delivered a stellar performance, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just five hits, no walks, and striking out four in a 3-0 victory over the Tigers on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a breath of fresh air for Kochanowicz, whose season has been marred by a bloated 4.96 ERA and a concerning 1.41 WHIP across his starts. Thursday's performance could be a turning point for the right-hander, who demonstrated improved control and efficiency, not issuing a single walk and keeping his pitch count low. While his season-long metrics like a low strikeout rate (3.3 K/9) and high FIP (5.04) suggest caution, this game could boost his confidence and possibly signal a shift towards more consistent outings. Fantasy managers should keep a watchful eye on whether he can build on this success in his subsequent starts.
