Bailey Falter steadies ship in Pirates' victory
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, May 25th 9:37am EDT
Bailey Falter delivered a solid outing, allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 7 1/3 innings in Friday's 11-5 win over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, marked by efficiency rather than dominance, aligns well with his season-long trend of reliable, if not spectacular, starts. With a 3.55 ERA and a stellar 0.98 WHIP through 10 starts, Falter continues to offer fantasy managers a dependable option, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and WHIP. However, his low strikeout rate (5.1 K/9) limits his ceiling in categories that value strikeouts. His ability to limit walks and maintain a low BABIP (.200) suggests some skill in managing contact, but the high FIP (4.85) warns of potential regression. Fantasy managers should continue to view Falter as a steady, back-end rotation piece rather than a breakout candidate.
