Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed to the team's victory, but his three strikeouts in the game highlight an ongoing concern. Caratini's performance this season has been decent for a catcher, maintaining a .270 batting average with eight home runs and 30 RBI over 86 games. His power numbers are respectable for his position, but his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate limit his upside in fantasy formats that penalize for strikeouts or reward for OBP. While he provides some occasional pop, his inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in shallower fantasy leagues.

Caratini's ability to deliver power and timely hitting, evidenced by his seven home runs and 27 RBI, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value catcher contributions. His consistent contact rate and low strikeout percentage add to his reliability, suggesting he could be a steady source of production as the season progresses.
