Lugo is a young, raw, work in progress with a great upside. He has spent almost of his four years in pro ball in short-season leagues and has yet to demonstrate that he’s ready for full-season Class A in 2001. But he has an athletic body with loose, flexible actions and a pretty swing from both sides of the plate. Lugo displays good bat speed and has tremendous raw power potential. He also has solid average foot speed with good first-step quickness and baserunning instincts. He’s a standout at third base with plus range, soft hands and a strong, accurate arm that has good carry. Lugo still has a lot of work to do. He needs to make much better contact and be far more selective at the plate. He must learn to make adjustments and keep his swing under control. He struggles against both hard stuff in on his hands and breaking pitches in general, and he tends to get pull-conscious. Montreal has been exceedingly patient with Lugo and will continue to be.
