This performance, while solid, underscores his season-long struggle with consistency, marked by a modest .247 batting average and a high strikeout rate. Despite these challenges, Chapman's ability to hit for extra bases (39 doubles and 27 homers on the season) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value power. His wOBA of .339 suggests he's been somewhat effective, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his batting average and strikeout tendencies could dampen his overall value.

Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 in the Giants' 6-3 victory over the Diamondbacks with a triple, a home run, one run scored, three RBI, and a walk.

This performance highlighted his ability to contribute significantly in multiple categories, albeit with a couple of strikeouts. Despite a batting average that might not dazzle (.249 on the season), Chapman's power numbers remain robust with 27 homers and 78 RBI through 149 games. His ability to mix extra-base hits with a decent on-base component (.342 wOBA) keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that value power hitting from the hot corner. However, his high strikeout rate (153 Ks, .243 K-rate) continues to be a drag on his batting average, making him a somewhat volatile option week-to-week.

Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 in the Giants' 9-0 win over the Royals, delivering two home runs and driving in two runs.

Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores a season marked by power but marred by a less-than-stellar batting average. With 26 homers now on the year, Chapman continues to be a reliable source of power and RBIs for fantasy managers, though his .249 average and high strikeout rate can be a drag on his overall value. His ability to consistently contribute in the power categories, however, should keep him rostered in most formats, especially in leagues that favor home runs and RBIs.
