Isiah Kiner-Falefa Flexes His Muscles With Triple, Homer
4 years agoTexas Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two runs driven in during the club's 8-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Along with a single, the catcher-turned-shortstop slugged a triple and a solo home run. Kiner-Falefa's four home runs this season match his career-high which was set in 111 games back in 2018. He'll need to continue to make adjustments with his swing to hit for more power as his launch angle of 2.8 degrees is well below the league-average mark of 11.9 degrees. His fantasy value comes from his remaining catcher eligibility. As a shortstop, his offensive output is below average.
