Shota Imanaga delivered a masterclass, pitching seven no-hit innings with seven strikeouts and two walks in a 12-0 rout of the Pirates on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
This performance underscores his role as a top-tier starter in fantasy leagues, especially considering his solid season stats, including a 2.99 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.1 K/9) and a favorable strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.20) adds to his value. Given his consistency and the dominance shown in this latest outing, Imanaga should be considered a must-start in all formats, capable of anchoring any fantasy rotation. His low BABIP (.263) suggests some luck, but his skill indicators like FIP confirm his effectiveness is largely skill-based.
