Gavin Lux – Next Dodger Star?

In 2016, a rookie was called up at the end of the season and in 95 AB’s he hit .179 with a .263 OB% while striking out 45% of the time. Obviously, he was a ZERO, ZILCH, NADA. Nothing to see here… move on. Many people were unimpressed. “He needs to spend another season at AAA.” This kid was 24 years old and only hit .179? He was obviously way outclassed. The thing is: the next year, he hit.284 with a .422 OB% in 678 PA and he hit 52 HR to boot! Aaron Judge is his name… maybe you have heard of him.
