There was a decent belief that 2019 was going to be Lucas Erceg’s bounce back year. After a season that saw a dip in the third baseman’s power production and an awful month after a ball struck him in the face, there was enough optimism around Erceg to believe he could do better. The fans believed so and voted the lefty a top-ten Milwaukee Brewers prospect heading into this year. Unfortunately, Erceg had quite possibly his worst professional season to date.
Looking at Erceg’s number in the 2019 season, “career-worst” is a phrase that can come up a number or times.
