J.D. Martinez homers in Mets' loss to Braves
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 9:13am EDT
J.D. Martinez went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mets' 4-1 defeat to the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked Martinez's first home run of the season, bringing a slight uptick to his modest .267 batting average. Despite the solo effort, Martinez's overall impact this season remains limited, with only three RBI and two runs scored over 14 games. His power display is a positive sign, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his production has not yet aligned with the expectations typically held for a designated hitter. The lack of consistent base-reaching opportunities, highlighted by a low walk rate, further caps his potential for fantasy relevance.
