Cedric Mullins' Speed Shines, Batting Still a Concern
by Chase Davis | Orioles Correspondent | Fri, May 24th 8:57am EDT
Cedric Mullins II went 2-for-5 in the Orioles' 8-6 victory over the White Sox, scoring twice and stealing two bases.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the multi-hit game, Mullins' season batting average remains a paltry .199, which continues to be a drag on his fantasy value. However, his speed on the bases is a bright spot, as evidenced by his two stolen bases in the game, bringing his season total to 10. While his power numbers are modest, with only six homers on the year, his ability to score runs (20) and steal bases could keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues or formats that heavily reward stolen bases. Owners should temper expectations due to his low batting average and on-base skills.
