Shota Imanaga delivered a masterful performance, tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out seven in a tight 1-0 win over the Mets on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
This outing further cements his status as a top-tier fantasy option, lowering his ERA to an impressive 0.78 and WHIP to 0.75 through six starts this season. His consistent strikeout ability, evidenced by a 9.1 K/9 rate, combined with exceptional control (8.75 K/BB ratio), makes him a must-start in all fantasy formats. Given his low BABIP of .220, some regression might be expected, but his elite skill set suggests he can mitigate any potential backslide. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy Imanaga with confidence.
