Mike Napoli hits sixth home run on Sunday

1B Mike Napoli went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the sixth home run on the season for the 34-year-old. He is providing the right-handed power bat that the Indians desperately needed, but it comes at an unsustainable 35.2% strikeout rate. Only five players (Justin Upton, Trevor Story, Miguel Sano, Chris Davis and Brett Lawrie) have struck out more. It will be difficult for Mike Napoli to raise his batting average to his career-mark of .253 whilst he is striking out at such a high rate.
