James Outman's Homer Not Enough to Lift Slumping Average
by Matthew Adam | Dodgers Correspondent | Tue, May 7th 5:47am EDT
James Outman went 1-for-4 in the Dodgers' 6-3 victory over the Marlins, contributing with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the home run, Outman's season continues to be a struggle, with a batting average lingering at .169 through 29 games. His power numbers are modest, with three homers and 10 RBI, but his high strikeout rate (.307) and low BABIP (.218) suggest he's been both unlucky and overmatched at the plate. Fantasy managers should view Outman as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues for potential sporadic power surges, but his current form doesn't warrant widespread roster consideration.
