It was a season of ups and downs for Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux. From being given a runway at second base to start the season, to injuring himself running into the centerfield wall towards the end of it. The ‘Kid from Kenosha’ struggled at the plate through his first 85 games of the season but finished the season strong after being called up after a two-week stint at Triple-A OKC.
After slashing .221/.302/.340 with a 78 wRC+ and a 23.4% strikeout rate before being optioned, Lux slashed .360/.467/.500 with a 162 wRC+ and a much improved 13.3% strikeout rate to finish the regular season.
