• Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe: Homers in loss

  22H ago •

  Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Mets. Lowe swatted his 11th homer in 70 games, which puts him on a pace to surpass the 18 he hit over 157 games in 2021. The increased power is no fluke. Lowe's launch angle increased from 5.0 to 8.8 from last season to 2022, while the first baseman is hitting more line drives (30%, up from 21%) and fewer groundballs (46%, down from 55%). Lowe's coming off a banner June, during which he posted a slash of .307/.346/.564 with seven home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs scored.

  Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and was caught stealing in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Philadelphia. Lowe delivered the game-winning hit, bashing the first of back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning off former Ranger Kyle Gibson. The blast was Lowe's ninth of the season, eight of them coming in the last 30 games. During that stretch, Lowe is slashing .325/.358/.596 with 14 extra-base hits, 19 RBI and 19 runs scored.

• Rangers' Nate Lowe: Possible waiver wire pickups

  17D ago • By Scott White

  Nate Lowe entered Wednesday's game batting .352 (25 for 71) with six homers and a 1.069 OPS over his past 18. What's interesting is that his average exit velocity and hard-hit rate have only decreased during that time. The launch angle, however, has improved. Specifically, his ground-ball rate is just 38.3 percent, and the reciprocal changes to his line-drive and fly-ball rates seem to have made all the difference. It suggests that Lowe's recent surge may be less a hot streak than the natural result of some necessary swing changes. Hitting the ball hard has never been the problem, so putting it in the air more could be the solution.
