In 2019, Gavin Lux was a top-100 prospect in baseball.
On 17 May of 2021, he hit his first grand slam. The pitcher was Kevin Ginkel. The Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks in that 4 game series, with the other three games close until the seventh or eighth innings.
Gavin Lux explained his mental approach in the following quote:
“Control the strike zone, wait out for a good pitch to hit. Yeah, that’s my game for sure. If you look at the guys one through eight in front of me, I don’t have a whole lot.
