Fantasy Impact

This performance showcased his ability to contribute significantly in multiple categories, although his season-long batting average and power numbers suggest a level of inconsistency. With a .249 average and 12 homers over 107 games, Nootbaar remains a fringe fantasy option, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups. His moderate speed and decent on-base skills, highlighted by a .334 wOBA, offer some value, but fantasy managers should temper expectations given his overall hitting profile this season.

Lars Nootbaar went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Cardinals' 10-8 loss to the Rockies.

This performance highlighted a season where Nootbaar has been a moderate contributor, now with a .247 average, 11 homers, and 42 RBI over 106 games. His power display, with a home run and a double, offers a glimpse of potential upside, though his overall impact in fantasy remains limited by a relatively modest batting average and inconsistent production. Owners should view Nootbaar as a situational player, best utilized in favorable matchups or in deeper leagues where outfield depth is necessary.
