Jordan Hicks stumbles in four-inning outing against Phillies
by Chris Schommer | Giants Correspondent | Sat, May 4th 8:19am EDT
Jordan Hicks allowed two earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three in a loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked a slight deviation from his otherwise stellar season, as evidenced by his 1.89 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. The four walks issued are particularly concerning, considering his decent 2.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio entering the game. Hicks's inability to prevent free passes this outing likely inflated his pitch count, leading to an earlier exit than usual. While his season-long metrics like a 3.36 FIP and 0.231 BABIP suggest some level of effectiveness, fantasy managers should monitor his control issues closely in upcoming appearances to gauge if this game was an anomaly or a sign of regression.
