2019 No. 5 prospect: Gavin Lux

Despite what looked like an average or subpar season from a first rounder in 2017, Gavin Lux had actually shown signs of putting things together offensively. He then did very much that in 2018, clubbing through the California League in route to being Tulsa’s top hitter for the league championship. Gavin has made significant adjustments to his swing to now be one of the more well rounded hitting prospects in the organization and a real bright spot as an up-the-middle talent.

Long gone is the arm bar we saw frequently in Lux’s swing upon turning pro. Now Lux employs a shorter stroke with a quick trigger, making him capable of catching up to velocity inside and making on the fly adjustments to off-speed pitches.
