Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Alonso's performance, including his 12th homer of the season, provided a silver lining. His season batting average remains modest at .240, and while his power numbers are respectable, his overall production has been somewhat inconsistent, as reflected by his .336 wOBA and .245 BABIP. Fantasy managers should continue to value Alonso for his home run potential, but should also be wary of the fluctuations in his batting average and on-base skills. His power is a critical asset, yet his strikeout rate could be a concern for those in points leagues where strikeouts are penalized.

Despite the loss, Alonso's power display continues to be one of the few bright spots in an otherwise mediocre season for the slugger. With a batting average lingering around the .236 mark, Alonso's performance has been a mixed bag for fantasy managers. His 11th homer of the season is a reminder of his potential to change the game with one swing, but his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest that inconsistency may continue to plague his season. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check, as Alonso's power is valuable, but his overall contribution might be limited by his batting average and on-base struggles.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, highlighted by his 10th homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been grappling with his underwhelming .226 batting average. Despite the low average, Alonso's power numbers remain respectable, with 23 RBI and 27 runs scored over 43 games. His ability to draw walks, evidenced by his 0.092 walk rate, also adds some value in formats that reward on-base percentage. However, his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest that while he can provide sporadic bursts of power, consistency might continue to elude him. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check but recognize his potential for impactful games.
