Rockies' Trevor Story: Back in tie for MLB homer lead
Story went 1-for-6 with his ninth homer of the year -- a solo shot -- in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
He also struck out three more times and is now hitting .241, a fact that fantasy owners shouldn't ignore when celebrating Story's tie with Bryce Harper and Nolan Arenado at the top of the MLB leaderboard in homers. The rookie shortstop has been fanned a stunning 34 times in 92 plate appearances, giving him a ridiculous 37 percent strikeout rate -- the second-worst in all of baseball. Playing half his games at Coors Field should prop up his numbers regardless, but even if he cuts down the whiffs, it doesn't look like Story's going to contribute much in the way of batting average. Still, his fantasy owners won't complain about the power numbers he gives them at shortstop.
