Trey Lipscomb Finding Success In Minors
1 year agoWashington Nationals infield prospect Trey Lipscomb landed with the organization as a third-round pick out of the University of Tennessee in 2022. He is a reliable, versatile defender who has played all four infield positions this season. However, with impressive glovework, strong reactive instincts, and an above-average arm, he should stick at third base long-term. Offensively, the 23-year-old has started to re-find his power after going yard just once last year. With that said, his strikeout and walk rates after four months emphasize the need for Lipscomb to improve his plate discipline. This past week, Lipscomb went 15-for-24 (.625) with two homers, two doubles, one triple, and 10 RBI. Discipline late in counts continued to be a concern as he struck out four times and drew just one walk. If the young prospect can bring his K/BB rate down, he'll likely find his way to Triple-A by the end of the season.
