Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
True to his numbers, A’s top outfielder prospect Lawrence Butler dropped a double deuce in his first MLB series this weekend against the Nationals.
Overall, Law’s line of .167/.167/.333 for the series wasn’t overwhelmingly impressive, but the 23-year-old sixth round pick showed some promising pop and got those first big league hits on the board, an essential rite of passage that should boost Butler’s confidence at the plate.
Butler went 0-for-4 in his first game in green and gold on Friday, but got his first knock in the books on Saturday: a scorching, 109.
