Chapman Powers Giants Past Pirates with Key Homer
by Jesse Garcia | Giants Correspondent | Wed, May 22nd 10:24pm EDT
Matt Chapman contributed significantly in the Giants' 9-5 victory over the Pirates, going 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.
Fantasy Impact:
He also drew two walks and struck out once. This performance underscores Chapman's ability to impact games with power, despite a batting average that might not jump off the page (.245 on the season). His seventh homer of the year and his ability to take walks (17 walks to date) are positives, but his high strikeout rate (49 strikeouts, 0.244 strikeout rate) continues to be a concern. Chapman's fantasy value remains solid in leagues that value power and runs scored, though his batting average and strikeout tendencies could be a drag in batting average leagues.
