Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's loss and a relatively quiet night at the plate, Schanuel managed to swipe a base, adding a small boost to his season total in that category. With a batting average of .252 over 139 games, his performance this season has been moderate, and his fantasy impact remains limited primarily to deeper leagues. His ability to contribute in multiple categories like home runs and stolen bases offers some value, but his inconsistency at the plate could be a concern for fantasy managers looking for reliable offensive production.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the loss, Schanuel managed to contribute by driving in a run and swiping a base, alongside drawing a walk. His performance this season has been fairly average, with a .249 batting average and a modest power output of 13 homers. His ability to get on base, reflected by his .318 wOBA and 65 walks, remains a valuable asset in points leagues, especially given his dual-threat potential in both power and speed categories. However, his relatively high strikeout rate could be a concern for batting average leagues. Moving forward, Schanuel's fantasy value seems stable, offering a blend of occasional power and speed with decent on-base skills.

Nolan Schanuel went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Angels' 5-3 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

While Schanuel's performance provided a slight silver lining in the loss, his season-long stats paint the picture of a young player still finding his footing in the majors. With a batting average of .249 and 13 home runs over 136 games, he's shown some potential, but his impact in fantasy leagues has been moderate at best. His stolen base in this game highlights an aspect of his game that could be of value in deeper leagues or those that highly value steals. However, his overall production this season suggests he should be viewed more as a depth option or a player to watch rather than a must-start.
