Emerson Hancock delivered a strong performance in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings. This outing was a refreshing change of pace for Hancock, whose season ERA of 5.06 and FIP of 5.17 suggest he has been struggling with effectiveness. However, his solid performance in this game, combined with a season WHIP of 1.13 and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.80, hints at potential underutilized skills. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Hancock, as outings like this could signal the beginning of a turnaround, making him a possible sleeper pick for teams in need of pitching depth.
