Nathaniel Lowe News
Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe continued his hot streak on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a double, a run, and an RBI to help his team beat the Oakland Athletics 8-5. On the season, the 26-year-old is slashing .260/.316/.356 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 13 runs, and one stolen base. However, since May 17, Lowe's hitting .385 with a 1.102 OPS. His plate discipline has been superb, too, with a 10.3% walk rate and 17.2% strikeout rate, during this time. Fantasy managers that held onto Lowe through his poor start to the season may get rewarded the rest of the way.
Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is heading to the bench for Tuesday's game against left-hander Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels. Andy Ibanez will be covering first base and batting seventh in the game. Lowe has been in a massive slump at the plate for over three weeks now. He's managed just four hits over his last 57 at-bats and none of the four hits were for extra-bases. The 26-year-old is slugging just .292 on the season with only one home run and four doubles over 32 games.
Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against left-hander Nestor Cortes and the New York Yankees. Andy Ibanez will be covering first and batting sixth in the game. Lowe has been struggling at the plate so far in May. Over five games this month, he's gone 2-for-20 with one walk, nine strikeouts and no extra-base hits. Thanks to his strong start to the season, he still has a solid .270 batting average on the year, but he's only managed to hit one home run over 26 games.

After the dust settled, Lowe put up a pretty solid line in his first season as a Ranger. He scored 74 runs, hit 18 homers, drove in 72, stole eight bases, and hit a respectable .264. His expected high walk rate kept his on-base percentage high at .354 as well. He did all of that while largely avoiding the spotlight. The one thing that stood out about Lowe is how low his homer total seems when you consider that he posted a better-than-average 9.5% barrel rate and 113.9 max exit velocity. The issue there was the crazy high 55% GB%. We know that ground-ball rate is somewhat sticky, but it is not crazy at all to see major shifts in a player's batted ball profile from year-to-year. This makes Lowe a guy that could flirt with 25 homers if he can get a few more balls into the air. What we have here is a late-round first baseman that does a little bit of everything, and I think there's some unrealized ceiling in here as well. In on-base percentage leagues, he's a great value that you can get after pick 225, and he's only 26 years old. Sign me up for some Nate Lowe this year.
