Marsh Musters Seven Ks, Royals Fall to Mariners
by Jesse Garcia | Royals Correspondent | Thu, May 16th 7:40am EDT
Alec Marsh allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid performance that maintained his impressive ERA at 2.43 and WHIP at 1.05, Marsh was saddled with his second loss of the season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate, now standing at 7.5 K/9, alongside a strong 3.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers should be cautious of his .248 BABIP, which suggests he might be benefiting from some good fortune on balls in play. Marsh's consistent performance, underscored by a 3.53 FIP, indicates he should remain a reliable starter in fantasy rotations, but monitoring any shifts in his underlying metrics will be key to anticipating his future outings.
