Justin Steele dominates Angels in complete game effort
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 9:57am EDT
Justin Steele turned in a masterful performance on Friday, allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven over nine innings in the Cubs' 5-1 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a shining example of Steele's capabilities, lowering his ERA to 2.95 and demonstrating his efficiency with a complete game on just 95 pitches. His season-long metrics, including a solid 8.7 K/9 and a 4.28 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that he can be a reliable asset in fantasy rotations, especially if he maintains this level of control and effectiveness. Steele's ability to suppress hits, as evidenced by a .250 BABIP, should keep him relevant in fantasy discussions, particularly in leagues that value innings eaters who contribute quality starts.
