Fantasy Impact

This performance highlighted Bleday's potential to deliver power and RBIs, though his season-long batting average of .232 and high strikeout rate of 19.2% continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. His ability to hit extra-base hits, evidenced by his 26 doubles and now 12 homers, does add some value, particularly in leagues that reward slugging. However, his low batting average and inconsistent production might limit his appeal to deeper fantasy formats or as a matchup-based option.

JJ Bleday went 3-for-4 in the Athletics' dominant 18-3 victory over the Phillies, delivering two doubles, a triple, and scoring four times.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, marked by extra-base hits and multiple runs, is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Bleday, who's batting just .230. His ability to contribute significantly in games like this showcases his potential upside, particularly in formats that reward extra-base hits and runs scored. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average still pose a risk for fantasy managers. Consistency will be key for Bleday if he is to be considered a reliable fantasy option moving forward.
