Part 6/8:
In his early career, Lombard Jr. has combined for 123 games, posting a .238 batting average with a solid .351 on-base percentage and a slugging percentage of .336. While these numbers fall below expectations, his age must be considered, as he has played as a teenager against older competition.
Despite experiencing challenges, like a .231 batting average in 2024, his ability to steal 39 bases and collect 25 doubles serves as evidence of his athleticism and untapped potential. Scouts unanimously agree that if he continues to refine his skills, a major league debut could be on the horizon as early as 2026.
