DateQuestionAnswer
2019-07-11 23:00:00 (link to chat)Lucius Fox seems to be doing everything right at AA. Defense, speed, great plate discipline, 24 XBHs in 78 games. Should we be worried that he can't hit above .220 at the level?
(This Guy from Da Bahamas)
We were very much on Fox in the off-season, but noted carefully in his writeup that guys like him who lack pretty much all semblance of power projection can take a minute to suss their hit tools out in the high minors: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/46283/2019-prospects-tampa-bay-rays-top-10-prospects/

We're sort of seeing that right now, though he's embraced the kind of deep-count approach he needs to make it work, and the giant leap in walk rate is one for mankind. If he's getting on base at a league-average rate it doesn't matter if he's hitting .220 as a component of that, so it's been a valuable season for him at the dish so far. A 110 DRC+ in AA at 22 is nothing to sneeze at. (Wilson Karaman)
