Lux had committed to playing college ball at Arizona State but after being selected in the first round it looks like he’ll pass on that. Plunkett spoke to Lux about the manner.

Lux looks like he will be able to play the shortstop position at the next level and is a very versatile offensive player. Coming from high school in Wisconsin Lux did not face the strongest competition so it will be good to see how he fares in the minors.
