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.
