Drew Thorpe delivered a solid performance in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Twins, allowing two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over six innings.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a decent outing, Thorpe's lack of strikeout power was evident, managing only one K through his six frames. His season stats, including a 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, suggest reliability, but his low strikeout rate (5.23 K/9) and high FIP (4.46) might raise concerns for fantasy managers looking for dominant pitching performances. While Thorpe's ability to limit base hits (.160 BABIP) adds some appeal, his limited strikeout capability could cap his fantasy upside.
Drew Thorpe delivered a strong outing, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings in Friday's 3-2 win against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
This performance not only secured his third win of the season but also demonstrated his ability to handle pressure situations effectively. Thorpe's season ERA now improves to 3.71, and his WHIP slightly tightens to 1.13, reflecting a consistent ability to limit base runners. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (6.1 K/9), his control seems to be improving, which could hint at more quality starts ahead if he maintains this form. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; his low BABIP (.184) suggests some luck in play, potentially inflating his effectiveness. Moving forward, Thorpe could be a viable option in deeper leagues, particularly if he continues to demonstrate control and efficiency on the mound.
Drew Thorpe had his next start pushed back to Friday against the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Thorpe was originally scheduled to start Thursday's game. They are listing Thursday's starter as TBD.
Drew Thorpe delivered a strong performance, allowing two earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a step in the right direction for Thorpe, who has struggled with consistency early in the season, evidenced by his elevated 4.43 ERA and 5.03 FIP coming into the game. His ability to limit hits and runs in this start, despite a season-long issue with strikeouts and walks, suggests potential for improvement. Fantasy managers should note his low BABIP (.186), which might indicate some luck, but his performance against the Rockies could be a sign of settling into a more reliable rhythm. Keep an eye on him for streaming options in favorable matchups, though his low strikeout rate (5.8 K/9) limits his upside in standard formats.
