Among the many rookies to make an impact for the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2019 season was top prospect Gavin Lux, who slugged his way at a historic pace in the Minors to eventually earn an MLB promotion at the start of September.
Prior to his breakout campaign, Lux was one of a handful of Minor League players to receive a non-roster invitation to Spring Training this year. He received an early taste of the Major League lifestyle, but it didn’t come without some growing pains along the way.
Lux batted just .150/.190/.300 in 10 Cactus League games, but the bulk of his woes stemmed from the defensive side of things.
