What is “pasta diving”? It’s a term AN coined when Jed Lowrie was toiling at SS for the A’s and the radio announcers routinely were forced to report, “....past a diving Lowrie” Jed was a solid defensive SS on balls he could get to, but his lack of speed and range severely limited the number of balls he could reach.
Fast forward to 2025 and SS is manned by Jacob Wilson, who was drafted with the reputation of being a slick defensive SS like his dad Jack, with questions about whether his low exit velocities and ‘swing at everything’ style would translate to big league hitting success.
