He started somewhat slow in '21. I dropped him on my fantasy team. My best friend picked him up and he went on an absolute tear in the 2nd half of the season. In the final week of the season, all I had to do was win and I was in. I played my best friend's team. He beat me by 12 points. Lowe outscored my 2B by 18 points. I drafted him in the 8th rd this year... he's currently on the IL but I'm hoping he picks it up after he returns. Another GREAT video my friend!

When he's healthy, is is incredibly valuable. Certainly one of the best (or has the potential to be) the best at his position. Unfortunately, as he ages, and these back issues persist, these well deserved labels such as "underrated" or "underappreciated", that is slowly fading away. Let's hope he can stay healthy and turn things around.

That was a pretty good opening day. Yu Darvish got into the 7th inning with a no-hitter and shohei otani struck out nine batters in five innings... And naturally Otani lost because his team doesn't know how to score runs.

Pretty good video 👍 Everywhere I look, I see no updates on B. Lowe's back issues (and how his health might affect him) with the 2023 season approaching. But this is a video worth watching. Congrats. And please, if possible, dig out any info you can find about the health of players for the upcoming season and make a video of it..., esp those that had nagging health issues last year like Lowe with his back. Thanks. Keep it up! Subscribed.

Well I can't say I find myself talking about him a lot, but I did work on a roster update/rom edit of MLB ft. Ken Griffey Jr for the N64 and I gave Lowe some pretty good rankings, so I guess I must have done a good amount of research and evaluation lol That Judge comparison is pretty interesting!

It really is unfortunate that he did get over shadowed yet again in 2021 as a 2nd baseman due to semien having probably one of the best seasons offensively at the 2nd base spot in the same division. Dude is absolutely a legit player and I expect great things from him going forward he just seems to be getting unlucky lol

I like Lowe as a player just with his numbers and at second base defense isn’t that vital in the modern game seeing as the Brewers had put Moose there and a few others before dedicating resources to a legit high value defense player (even then it’s a position you can throw guys in). However I refuse to acknowledge him and put the guy on the radar until the Rays change their name along with logo back to the Devil Rays. Anything less than that is disrespectful to the sport of baseball and therefore means they can never win a World Series.

Lowe is damn good but his playoff and defensive woes give me some skepticism, I’d go with another Brandon in Brandon Crawford, most think he just had a pop off season last year but he’s been so consistent on both sides of the ball for over a decade plus a lot of hardware to back it up

Crawford is great, but I wouldn't say underrated. He plays in a huge market, finished fourth in MVP voting last year, and - as you said - already has the hardware to back up his play.

Shift: Lowe's is a massive pull hitter leading to increadible predictability. Modern day analytics people see this as an anamoliy and point to Babip, but having a hole in your swing allows defenses to more easily predict what you will do so this does make Judge far more valuable (BA, OBP etc). Ending the shift, however, will help Lowe more than Judge.
