Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Gavin Lux was named the 2019 Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America. The honor is the latest accolade in what’s been an impressive season for Lux.
He began the 2019 campaign with Double-A Tulsa, batting .313/.375/.521 with seven doubles, four triples, 13 home runs and 37 RBI in 64 games. Lux was among the affiliate’s eight players named to the Texas League All-Star Game, which the Drillers hosted.
Shortly after, Lux earned a promotion to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he continued to shine. The young infielder hit safely in his first 16 Triple-A games, which also included a stretch of at least one home run in five consecutive contests.
