Scouting report
Like clockwork, Lutz starts the season slow, then rebounds and ends the year with an above-average batting line for the league. Some in the game think this is evidence of his ability to make adjustments; others think it's because he only starts hitting when the best pitchers have been promoted out of the league he's in. Lutz has sizable power, strikeout issues, and is a corner-only defender. He's in the same tier as similarly-tooled players (Gray, Perez) but Lutz has had a mature build since late in high school and has less projection, or more tenuously perceived athletic longevity, than the others. I still like his ability to become a platoon piece (though it'll be the shorter end of one, a 40 FV) and Lutz has more raw power than is typical for that role (hence the +).
