+ This is the first viewing of MIF/RHP Gavin Lax (Luxemburg-Casco, 2026) in a showcase setting for our staff. Lax displayed some athleticism and quality actions during defense and was on the barrel throughout his round of batting practice. He was up to 89 mph max exit velocity and there could be more raw pop in the tank as he adds size and strength physically.
