Fantasy Impact

He threw 13 pitches, striking out two without allowing any hits or walks. This performance underscores Hoffman's growing reliability in the closer role, particularly given his impressive season stats including a 1.09 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.7 K/9) while keeping his walks down enhances his fantasy value, especially in leagues that reward saves and strikeouts. Despite a few hiccups with blown saves earlier in the season, Hoffman's recent form suggests he could be a solid option for fantasy managers needing late-inning stability.

Jeff Hoffman delivered a flawless performance, securing a save as the Phillies topped the Rangers 5-2.

Fantasy Impact

In his outing, Hoffman threw 23 pitches over a clean inning, allowing no hits or walks and striking out one batter. This game further cements his role as a reliable option in the Phillies' bullpen, especially given his impressive season stats including a 1.25 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (12.0 K/9) and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.14) should keep him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves and strikeouts. However, his history of blown saves this season suggests a slight risk factor in relying on him too heavily.

He allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of work, contributing to his team's win without recording any strikeouts. This performance, while not flashy, was effective and adds to his season's solid stats, including a stellar 0.90 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. Hoffman's ability to close games, evidenced by his third save, should keep him relevant in fantasy leagues, especially those valuing saves and ERA. However, his lack of strikeouts in this outing might be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for those points. His high K/9 rate this season suggests this may just be a blip, but it's something to monitor.
