Slade Cecconi delivered one earned run on three hits, three walks and two strikeouts in 5.1 innings pitched in Thursday's narrow 5-4 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings. Cecconi's performance was a step in the right direction, especially considering his manageable ERA of 4.15 and stellar WHIP of 0.88 this season. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (7.1 K/9), his ability to limit hits, as evidenced by a .164 BABIP, continues to make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his moderate FIP of 5.10 suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his reliability as a consistent starter. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his command and ability to maintain low-scoring outings.
