Ian Happ's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ had a monster game on Thursday, smashing two homers in a 10-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Happ ended the day 4-for-4 with a pair of homers, two runs scored, and six RBI. The homers were both of the three-run variety and came in back-to-back innings, the fourth and fifth frames. Happ has been very good for the last month, but it has flown under the radar for the most part. He hit .244/.387/.500 with five homers, 20 RBI, and five steals in June in what was a very productive month. He is a stud in points leagues and has been very solid for a while now in categories leagues as well. He should be rostered in all leagues while he is this hot, and he is available in some shallow leagues right now.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ played hero on Saturday afternoon with a go-ahead two-run shot in the eighth inning to power the Cubs over their division rival Milwaukee Brewers. Happ broke a tie game with his 11th home run off the season off Brewer reliever Joel Payamps. This was Happ's second long ball in the past three games and fifth of the month. The everyday left fielder in the Northside now holds a .231/.346/.422 slash line with 44 RBI and a 44:88 BB:K ratio. He has posted an above-average 12.2% barrel rate and 43.1% hard-hit rate, which suggests this power surge could continue into the second half of the summer. Happ remains a more valuable fantasy asset in points leagues due to his stellar 13.3% walk rate.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ played the role of hero in Thursday afternoon's extra-inning win over the hosting San Francisco Giants, mashing his 10th home run of the year. Happ lifted a ball to center field off Giants right-hander Luke Jackson that hit the wall and went over for a go-ahead two-run homer in the 10th inning on Thursday. The streaky 29-year-old switch-hitter has been up and down for the Cubs all season long, slashing a pedestrian .228/.339/.408 with 42 RBI, 42 walks, 40 runs scored, and seven stolen bases through 272 at-bats. Without a consistent premium spot in Chicago's batting order, Happ has settled in as a lower-end fantasy option among outfielders.
