Reese Olson's Outing: Decent, But Lacks Depth

Reese Olson delivered a middling performance in Thursday's narrow 4-3 victory over the Rays, tossing 72 pitches across four innings while allowing four hits and two earned runs.

Fantasy Impact

He struck out three batters and issued no walks. Despite not factoring into the decision, Olson's outing was a mixed bag. His ability to avoid walks was a positive takeaway, aligning with his solid season-long WHIP of 1.18 and a commendable strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.06. However, his inability to pitch deeper into the game continues to cap his fantasy value, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and quality starts. Olson's ERA and FIP suggest he's been reasonably effective this season, but his fantasy managers might still be craving more in terms of volume and win potential.
