Gavin Lux's tenure with the Cincinnati Reds couldn't have gotten off to a better start. Through the first month of the 2025 campaign, the Lux hit .327/.416/.439 with a 140 wRC+. It was reminiscent of his days as a top prospect in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system.
Then, the calendar flipped to May, and the wheels fell off. Constantly swapping between left field, designated hitter, second base, the 27-year-old failed to post an OPS above .700 or a wRC+ above 100 in any month between May-July.
Just when all seemed lost, though, Lux is experiecing a resurgence during the month of August.
