With the No. 20 overall pick in the 2016 MLB draft, the Dodgers selected Wisconsin high schooler Gavin Lux and signed him to a $2.3 million bonus.
Since then, Lux has blasted through the Dodgers’ farm system, and was rewarded with a promotion to the big squad in September of last season.
In 23 games (82 plate appearances), Lux hit .240/.305/.400 with two home runs and nine RBI, with a 87 wRC+ and .301 wOBA. In the field, Lux recorded four defensive runs saved (DRS) in 178.0 innings at second base.
The 22-year-old cracked the Dodgers’ postseason roster and went 2-for-10 in the NLDS, but also rocked a home run.
