In a media huddle prior to Sunday’s game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Gavin Lux‘s role in 2020. The organization’s top prospect will continue taking reps at second base, where Roberts envisions him going forward.
Lux came up in 2019 and spent all of his time playing second base, logging all 178 of his defensive innings there. This comes after Lux spent almost 80 percent of his defensive time at shortstop coming up through the minor leagues.
On a lot of other teams in baseball, Gavin Lux would likely be the starting shortstop. The Dodgers happen to be fortunate in that they already have a cornerstone piece at short in Corey Seager.
