Rookies, and rookie batters in particular, are almost always not that good. From 2015 through 2022, rookies slashed an uninspiring .238/.303/.387 with an 86 wRC+ and 1.03 fWAR/600 PA. Let’s compare that to the non-rookies during that same time: .252/.322/.420 with a 100 wRC+ and 2.00 fWAR/600 PA. It’s clear, then, that the floor for rookie position players is lower than for your average MLB player.
Which brings us to Josh Lowe.
Thankfully, you’re only a rookie once (unless you’re Randy Arozarena - he was a rookie for like 73 years). The Rays outfielder Josh Lowe exhausted his rookie eligibility in 2022.
