Jake Bauers

Jake Bauers went 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Brewers' 5-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Bauers also drew two walks, showcasing his ability to get on base despite a challenging matchup. This performance could hint at a potential uptick in his fantasy value, especially considering his power-speed combination. With a season batting average of .241 and a modest .358 wOBA, Bauers remains a risky fantasy play. However, his ability to contribute across multiple categories, as evidenced by his five home runs and five stolen bases, makes him a potential asset in deeper leagues or as a streaming option depending on the matchup.

Jake Bauers is not in the starting lineup for the Brewers Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bauers will take a seat with Martin Perez starting for the Pirates. Owen Miller will get the start at first base and hit seventh.

Jake Bauers went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Brewers' 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Bauers's performance was a bright spot, delivering a key home run and driving in a significant portion of the team's runs. This outing pushes his season RBI count to 21 and his home run tally to four, which are respectable numbers, but his high strikeout rate and modest .244 batting average suggest a volatile fantasy output. Bauers's power surge could hint at potential value in deeper leagues, especially if he can find more consistency at the plate, but his high strikeout tendency remains a concern for fantasy managers looking for reliable hitters.

Jake Bauers went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Brewers' 7-1 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed to the team's robust offensive display, though his overall season performance remains lackluster with a .205 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 40%. Bauers's power stroke is evident with three homers on the season, but his inconsistency at the plate and poor contact rates make him a risky fantasy option. His limited on-base skills, highlighted by a mere .075 walk rate, further dampen his appeal in formats that value OBP.
