Joey Gallo Clubs Two Home Runs
5 years agoTexas Rangers first baseman Joey Gallo carried his team's offense in his third game back from the Injured List on Thursday. He went 2-for-3 with two home runs and a walk in the team's 3-1 victory over the Tigers. He now has 19 home runs and 44 RBIs with a .279/.427/.676 slash line across 53 games this season. Gallo's one of the game's best power hitters and if he continues to hit anywhere near .279, he's going to continue to be a huge fantasy asset going forward. His 20.2% walk rate is a career-best clip and he's in the top 1% of the league in barrel rate (27.6%), exit velocity (96.2) and hard-hit rate (57.7%).
