Brandon Marsh Speeds Up, Phillies Edge Mets 5-4

Brandon Marsh went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and two walks in the Phillies' narrow victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not driving in any runs or scoring himself, Marsh's ability to get on base and swipe bags provided a tactical edge for Philadelphia. His performance this season has been a mixed bag with a modest .252 average and a concerning strikeout rate of 30.9%. However, his speed on the bases, as evidenced by his seven stolen bases, adds a valuable dimension to fantasy rosters. Marsh's ability to draw walks, combined with his speed, should keep him relevant in leagues that value these categories, though his high strikeout rate and low power numbers might limit his appeal in more traditional formats.
