Finding a hitting comp for Josh Lowe

Using comparisons to evaluate baseball players is an imperfect science, yet our brains can’t help but note similarities between players. This is especially true for young players, as we are all trying to make conclusions about what they might or might not become.

When watching the Rays newest rookie Josh Lowe, there are all kinds of parallels that might pop into your mind. Maybe his tall, lanky and athletic frame reminds you of Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, or maybe his long (and quick) strides when rounding the bases of his first big league triple reminded you of Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton.
