How Good is Brandon Lowe?

Brandon Lowe followed up his breakout 2020 season with one of Tampa Bay Rays history’s finest offensive seasons. He batted.247/.340/.523 with a 137 wRC+.

Lowe’s 137 wRC+ is tied for fourth greatest among players with 600 or more plate appearances, behind 2007 Carlos Pea (167 wRC+), 1999 Fred McGriff (140 wRC+), and 2010 Evan Longoria (139 wRC+).

Lowe’s 39 homers were tied with 2009 Pea for second most in franchise history, after only Pena’s 46 in 2007.

Lowe demonstrated what he could accomplish in a smaller sample size in 2020, hitting.269/.362/.554 with a 152 wRC+ despite only getting 224 plate appearances due to the COVID abbreviated season.

Lowe’s breakthrough in 2021 was better than his breakthrough in 2020. Instead of a 60-game season, he was able to maintain high run production for the entire year.

Over 60 plate appearances, he batted.300/.417/.720 and had a 208 wRC+ versus left-handed pitchers. With a.1998/.261/.401 line and 83 wRC+ in 2021, he returned to his career norms.

Lowe wreaked havoc on right-handed pitchers this season. Against right-handed pitchers in 2020, he hit.259/.341/.497 for a 131 wRC+. He improved his line to.270/.375/.581 with a 161 wRC+ this season.

Lowe has a 141 wRC+ and has hit.253/.346/.532 among qualified batters. Shohei Ohtani (136 wRC+), Mookie Betts (136 wRC+), and Nelson Cruz (134 wRC+) are among the top hitters in the majors with 141 wRC+.
