Fantasy Impact

While his batting average remains a modest .232 over 94 games this season, Cowser's ability to drive in runs and hit for power was on full display with his 14th homer contributing significantly to the Orioles' victory. Despite a concerning strikeout rate of 29.5%, his knack for timely hits and a decent .331 wOBA suggest he could be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward power and RBI. Fantasy managers should consider Cowser's potential for home runs and RBI while being wary of the impact his strikeouts might have on his batting average.

Colton Cowser went 2-for-2 with a double and three RBI in the Orioles' 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Cowser's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to drive in runs when given the opportunity. His season has been a mixed bag, marked by a modest .231 batting average and a concerning strikeout rate of .293. However, his 40 RBI and 13 homers in 93 games indicate some underlying power potential. Fantasy managers should view Cowser as a situational player, potentially valuable in deeper leagues or formats that reward extra-base hits and RBI, but his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a liability in batting average leagues.

Colton Cowser contributed to the Orioles' dominant 9-1 victory over the Rangers with a noteworthy performance at the plate.

Fantasy Impact

Colton Cowser went 1-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and two RBI. Despite a challenging season with a batting average of just .219, Cowser's power stroke was on display, marking his 13th homer of the year. His ability to drive in runs, now totaling 36 RBI, remains a silver lining for fantasy managers. However, his high strikeout rate of 29.5% continues to be a concern, limiting his on-base opportunities as evidenced by his modest .311 wOBA. Fantasy managers should view Cowser as a potential power source, but his overall inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
