Emerson Hancock (SP, RP SEA) records win
by Robert Finkelstein | Mariners Correspondent | Sun, Mar 29th 10:25pm EDT
Hancock earned a win, pitching six innings of hitless, scoreless ball through six innings in Seattle's 8-0 victory over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
Hancock was nearly perfect over six frames, departing the game with a potential no-hitter intact before the Seattle bullpen took over in the seventh. Hancock’s dominance was characterized by an "infield-only" profile; notably, no batted ball against him left the infield during his six innings of work. He utilized a precise mix of his 94-96 mph four-seamer and a devastating slider that accounted for the majority of his career-high nine strikeouts. His only blemishes were a first-inning walk to José Ramírez and a hit batsman in the sixth, both of which he navigated without allowing a runner to reach second base. While Hancock was originally seen as a temporary fill-in for Bryce Miller (oblique), a six-inning hitless performance makes him incredibly difficult to remove from the rotation.
