Scouting Report: Josh Lowe
Los Angeles Angels | RF
Overall
Summary
Josh Lowe is struggling significantly with the Angels, hitting .144 with a .471 OPS in early May 2026. He missed spring training time with an oblique injury and has been benched repeatedly against left-handed pitchers (1-for-15 with 5 strikeouts vs. LHP). Despite showing confidence in batting practice and snapping an 0-for-24 skid with a bunt single, Lowe remains in a pronounced slump. Manager Kurt Suzuki continues to start him primarily against right-handed pitchers at the bottom of the order, expressing belief that he's close to breaking out. Lowe was acquired in a three-way trade expecting to replicate his .835 OPS from 2023, but has underperformed significantly.
Strengths
- Snapped 0-for-24 skid with bunt single
