5/24/15 - Very tall athletic guy with a live arm. His FB was 86-90 with arm side tailing life from a ¾ slot. CV was 74-77 with ¾ rotation, a fringy ML pitch but threw it for strikes. Has good feel for the CHG at 78-79 mph with same action as FB. Velocity has been up and down, but scouts that haven’t forgotten the 94 mph FB they’ve seen in the past will draft him.

5/20/15 - American Heritage Del-Ray – Very tall athletic guy with a live arm. His FB was 86-90 with arm side tailing life from a ¾ slot. CV was 74-77 with ¾ rotation, a fringy ML pitch but threw it for strikes. Has good feel for the CHG at 78-79 mph with same action as FB. Velocity has been up and down, but scouts that haven’t forgotten the 94 mph FB they’ve seen in the past will draft him.

3/3/15 - Florida commit. 6-foot-8, 20 pound lefty with a tall loose lean projectable body. Athletic for his size. Fastball was 85-90 mph and pitched at 87-88 mph with a fringy mostly downer curve ball. Fastball was a little straight, and control was a little scattered.  Lasted 4 innings, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits, 1 BB, 3 K’s. Athletic with fair balance through his delivery and long limbs for inconsistencies, but lots of projection…and I’ve seen 94 mph is in there. Top-10 round draft who could climb if he improves throughout the spring.

Bowling, a LHP for American Heritage stands an impressive 6-foot-7, 215 pounds. Hunter uses his tall, athletic frame, to attack hitters with a dominant downhill fastball. Bowling’s fastball sits in the low 90’s but will reach the mid 90’s at times. Bowling’s secondary pitches are a tight breaking ball he throws in the low 80’s and a change up he’s able to throw with effective arm side run. Bowing recently participated in the Under Armour All America game at Wrigley Field. Hunter Bowling has committed to the University of Florida.
