Is Brandon Lowe the worst playoff performer in MLB history?

First off, Brandon Lowe is terrific and is among the best players in Tampa Bay Rays history.

At the conclusion of the 2023 regular season, Lowe ranks 7th all-time in franchise history in fWAR, 6th in homeruns, and 4th in wRC+. There is no question as to whether he is one of the best all around offensive players that has ever donned a uniform for the Rays.

However.

When it comes to the postseason, Brandon Lowe just fails to show up. And unfortunately this year, due to injury, literally.

Over the course of the 119 years that MLB has played a postseason, the numbers of players that have fared worse than Brandon Lowe, can frankly be counted on one hand.
