Jhonkensy Noel powers Guardians past Pirates with key homer
by Chris Schommer | Guardians Correspondent | Sat, Aug 31st 9:54am EDT
Jhonkensy Noel went 1-for-5 in the Guardians' 10-8 victory over the Pirates, delivering a home run, one run scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a modest batting average of .262 this season, Noel's power continues to be a bright spot, with his 13th homer contributing significantly to his team's win. His high strikeout rate and low walk rate suggest a boom-or-bust potential for fantasy managers. However, his solid .393 wOBA indicates that when he connects, he's highly productive. Fantasy managers should consider Noel a risky, yet potentially rewarding option, especially in formats that value power numbers.
