Nate Lowe was selected by the Rays in the 13th round of the 2016 draft out of Mississippi State. Since then he has ascended quickly through the minors, most recently posting a .300/.444/.543 slash line in Triple-A Durham, good for a 156 wRC+ in 90 PA. Nate Lowe is currently ranked at Tampa Bay’s #8 prospect according to MLB.com
