The frenzied hitting environment at high Class A High Desert distorts offensive production for all types of batters. Some evaluators see Lara's season as a product of that environment--he won the California League batting title (.353) and finished runner-up for on-base (.413) and slugging (.609) percentage-- but others aren't so dismissive. He used the right-center field gap well and squared balls up with the approach of an above-average hitter whose solid contact from the right side leads to at least average power. Lara's well below-average running ability limits him defensively. He has a plus arm with above-average accuracy, but his range in right field is well below-average. He's an adequate first baseman. Lara doesn't get tripped up when he faces a pitcher who can spin a breaking ball, and he hits the ball where it's pitched. Lara should return to Double-A Jackson to begin 2015. As a right/right first baseman, he'll have to remain prolific to get a shot in the big leagues.
