Brandon Lowe Still Searching For First Home Run
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays second baseman/outfielder Brandon Lowe is off to a slow start to the 2021 season. He's slashing .179/.343/.250 and is yet to hit his first home run. He has two doubles and three RBI and he's struck out 11 times over 28 at-bats. He's yet to register a barrel over 17 batted balls and his average launch angle is down from 18.1 degrees in 2020 to 13.4 degrees this year. He's still making good contact as he has a hard-hit rate of 41.2%, only slightly down from last year, 43.1%. It's too early in the season to get hung up on most advanced stats, but there are certainly some concerning trends. Fantasy managers should stay patient for now. The power numbers should come soon.
