Fantasy Impact

This outing lowers his ERA to 3.06 and improves his season record to 4-3. Despite a solid K/9 rate of 7.8, Baz's FIP remains a concern at 4.16, suggesting some underlying issues that could affect his performance stability. However, his low WHIP of 1.06 and a favorable BABIP of .229 indicate that he can manage baserunners effectively. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Baz's outings closely, as his ability to maintain control and minimize hits gives him the potential to be a valuable asset in many fantasy lineups.

This outing was a solid display of efficiency and control, helping to lower his ERA to 3.21 and improve his season record to 4-3. Despite a modest strikeout rate of 7.5 K/9 this season, Baz's ability to limit base runners, as evidenced by his 1.11 WHIP, remains a key asset in fantasy formats. His performance against a competitive team like the Red Sox should reassure fantasy managers of his potential as a reliable starter in their rotations, especially considering his ability to manage games.

Shane Baz allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a relatively solid outing, Baz couldn't secure enough support to avoid the Rays' defeat. His performance this season has been commendable with a 3.28 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over 11 starts, but his lower strikeout rate of 7.5 K/9 may be concerning for fantasy managers used to higher totals. The 4.35 FIP suggests some underlying issues that could be problematic if not addressed. Moving forward, Baz remains a viable fantasy option, though perhaps more as a depth piece rather than a weekly starter, given the current metrics and trends.

Shane Baz took a tough loss on Friday, allowing just one earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings against the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite delivering a quality start, Baz's efforts weren't enough as the Rays fell 2-0. This performance lowers his ERA to an impressive 3.27 through 10 starts, maintaining a solid WHIP of 1.24. However, his modest strikeout rate of 7.5 K/9 and a high FIP of 4.31 suggest potential volatility in his future outings. Fantasy managers should appreciate his ability to limit runs but remain cautious due to the underlying metrics that hint at possible regression.

Shane Baz delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in Saturday's 11-4 victory over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a decent display of control and efficiency from Baz, especially considering his season-long metrics. With a 3.49 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP through nine starts, Baz has been a reliable option, albeit with a lower-than-desirable strikeout rate (7.5 K/9) and a slightly elevated FIP (4.20). His performance today, particularly in limiting hits, should reassure fantasy managers about his place in their rotations. However, his moderate strikeout numbers and walk rate suggest a cautious approach in matchups against high-scoring teams.
