Stephenson Homers in Reds' Dominant Victory Over Cards
by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 11:05pm EDT
Tyler Stephenson went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI as the Reds trounced the Cardinals 9-2.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to the offensive onslaught, but his overall season has been a mixed bag. With a batting average of .244 over 102 games, Stephenson's power numbers are decent for a catcher, but his inconsistency at the plate might be a concern for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains high, and while he does offer some power with 16 homers, his limited contributions in other categories, like stolen bases and average, cap his fantasy upside. Moving forward, Stephenson should be viewed as a power-first option, suitable for deeper leagues or two-catcher formats.
