The Lineup Needed a Left-Handed Bat. He Is That.
The Angels' lineup has been chronically right-handed for years — a predictable, one-dimensional attack that opposing managers can neutralize with a single left-handed reliever in a late-inning situation. Josh Lowe fixes that problem. A left-handed hitter with legitimate power (18 HR in 2024) and above-average athleticism, acquired via a three-team trade from Tampa Bay.
Lowe has never put together a true breakout season, and that is the honest caveat. Four MLB seasons, four times finishing between 1.3 and 2.1 WAR — solid, useful, never dominant. The tools are there: he can run, he can cover ground in left field, and he has shown the ability to punish right-handed pitching.
The spring stats are early noise, but the approach in the box — the kind of patient, left-handed at-bat that makes late-inning lineup matchups complicated — is exactly what this lineup has been missing. At 27, he is entering his prime. The Angels are counting on him to stay healthy and be the left-side answer they acquired him to be.
