John Means dominates Reds in stellar outing

John Means dazzled on the mound Saturday, delivering a masterful performance against the Cincinnati Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
He pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out eight in a narrow 2-1 victory for the Orioles. This outing was the perfect debut to the season for Means, posting pristine 0.00 ERA and 0.43 WHIP but also underscores his dominance with a 10.3 K/9 rate and a 0.97 FIP early in the season. Given these metrics, Means should be considered a high-value player in fantasy leagues, especially if he maintains this level of control and strikeout ability. His ability to suppress hits (.200 BABIP) and completely avoid walks this game further bolsters his case as a top-tier fantasy starter.
