Dodgers draft SS Gavin Lux at No. 20
The Los Angeles Dodgers selected shortstop Gavin Lux of Indian Trail Academy (Kenosha, Wisconsin) with the No. 20 pick in Thursday night's MLB first-year player draft.
Scouting report: Lux has picturesque infield footwork and actions befitting a major league shortstop. He takes aggressive but efficient routes to ground balls and has a lightning quick glove-to-hand transfer. He sets his feet quickly to throw from a platform, which will allow him to make accurate throws. The arm strength isn't no-doubt, left-side-of-the-infield arm strength and is closer to average, but we think more is coming and it should be enough for short once the cement is dry on the body.
