Kevin Kiermaier connects for rare homer in Jays' victory
by Chris Schommer | Blue Jays Correspondent | Sun, May 5th 7:11am EDT
Kevin Kiermaier went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Blue Jays' 6-3 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance, highlighted by his first home run of the season, provided a much-needed boost to his otherwise lackluster .197 batting average. Despite the power display, Kiermaier's season has been marred by a high strikeout rate (28.8%) and low walk rate (6.1%), limiting his on-base opportunities. Fantasy managers should view this game as a positive outlier rather than a sign of a turnaround, given his overall weak offensive output this season. His limited stolen base numbers and low wOBA (.240) further cap his fantasy upside.
