Breakdown Josh Lowe

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 32nd among OF's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 158th.
  • The current leader among OF's is Julio Rodriguez
  • Can't be doing much worse than he is right now. Failing to live up to expectations is one thing, but playing this bad is another.
  • He hasn't missed that many games lately, but he is listed on the injury report. He may have some nagging injuries with his Oblique (Since Mar 25, 2024). Look at his player news.
  • Trending Batting Stats

  • Top 50 in BABIP (Batting Average on Balls In Play) with 0.362 and is currently ranked 41st

  • Not too impressive and is currently ranked 257th in runs scored with 36
  • On second thought, he hasn't played in quite enough games for me to calculate a reliable analysis for you. Expect his rating to evolve over the next few days.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 2.8 PPG.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: AVG: -0.291, OBP: -0.336, HRs: -20, RBI: -83, Runs: -72, Wlks: -32, Stls: -32,
  • The season is still young, expect things to change quite a bit.
