This past season the Texas Rangers were lucky to have four prominent players with at least 20 home runs. Of those four players, it was Nathaniel Lowe's first time hitting 20 or more home runs. And he did that while maintaining a batting average over.300. Lowe is a real deal, and he has already proved that in the 2022 season. His 1252 PO (what…
