2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lux was quietly pacing towards a breakthrough season with a .297/.373/.439 line through August 22. He then was bothered by neck and back issues, dropping his numbers to .162/.197/.191 line for the rest of the season. Lux hit fewer fly balls and his HR/FB dropped to a career-low 6.2%, but the added groundballs fueled a career-best .341 BABIP. Lux knocked a career-high 20 doubles, so despite a dip in home runs, his ISO and slugging were new personal bests. Plus, home run estimators suggest double-digits are plausible with a little more luck. Lux still seven bases in nine tries, lumping him with those having a chance to run more with the new rules. Unless he changes his approach to loft more batted balls, Lux's power will be secondary to a developing hit tool and latent speed. The September swoon could keep the price to the point it's worth finding out if Lux has another level. Read Past Outlooks

Hits bench against lefty
Lux will sit for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The Dodgers are going with a righty-heavy lineup against southpaw Blake Snell. Max Muncy will handle second base in Lux's absence, with Austin Barnes entering in the lineup in his place, pushing Will Smith to designated hitter and Justin Turner out to Muncy's former spot at the hot corner.

Stat Review
How does Gavin Lux compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

What an up-and-down season for Lux. He started the season on the injured list (wrist) and then returned to part-time at-bats, sitting against lefties. Then in July, he hurt his hamstring and missed about a month. After that, he got demoted for a couple weeks. Finally, Lux was recalled to play the outfield and was on fire to end the season (.360/.467/.500 over the final month). He's played in three different seasons and hasn't even reached 162 games played. In 532 career PA, he has 12 homers, seven steals and a .233 average. Nick Solak had similar numbers in 2021. The 23-year-old Lux has several ways to improve to take the next step forward. He could air out more hits by dropping his 47.2 GB%. Tapping into more power would push up his 8.8% HR/FB. Finally, he could start hitting lefties (.499 OPS vs. LHP, .735 OPS vs. RHP), like he did as a prospect. Don't count on that all happening right away.
