View More NewsNelson Velazquez homers in Royals' losing effort
Nelson Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Royals' 11-8 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to his season tally, bringing his home run count to eight and RBI to 21. Despite the power display, Velazquez's season batting average remains a concern at .220, reflecting ongoing struggles at the plate. His high strikeout rate of .289 and low walk rate of .072 suggest difficulties in plate discipline, which could limit his fantasy upside. However, his ability to contribute home runs might keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues where power is at a premium.
