Fantasy Impact:
This performance underlines Butler's potential to deliver both power and speed, contributing significantly in multiple fantasy categories. Despite a modest .248 batting average this season, his 16 homers and 12 stolen bases make him a valuable asset in leagues that reward power-speed combinations. However, fantasy managers should be wary of his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate, which could impact his on-base opportunities. Butler's ability to impact the game in various ways keeps him relevant in mixed fantasy formats.
