Bowen

Big projectable frame at 6-foot-4. Moves well around the bag at first and is a big target to throw to. Athletic stance at the plate with a small stride forward. Hands makes small load back, hands are quick through the zone, level path, and strength at contact. Had a hard line drive single back through the middle for 2 RBI that got the Royals back into the game. Has a big frame and probably projects best on the mound, but for an underclassman showed poise at the plate in some big situations for Prince George.

PRESEASON ALL STATE Session I

Big strong projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 215-pounds and still has some room for growth. On the mound Bowen showed a small rocker step to a consistent balance point keeping hands low throughout. Hands break low and move to a bigger arm circle moving down the mound with shoulders uphill. Big stride down the mound landing on line and throws from an over the top arm slot with a slight recoil on finish. Fastball sat between 81-83 touching 84 and showed some explosion through the zone. Had arm speed on the offspeed pitches throwing the curveball at 64-67 and changeup at 72-74. Curveball had a tight harder break with a 11/5 shape. Athletic on line stance at the plate with a toe tap to stride. Hands stay close at load and have minimal load back. Hips fire first and lower half shows some aggression throughout the swing. Swing is short to the ball and path has some uphill tilt. Exit velocity was 90 mph and showed the ability to hit for power. Defensively feet are active on approach and solid glove presentation to catch. Clean exchange to a small arm circle throwing from an over the top slot. Feet worked around the bag and showed a positional velocity of 83 mph. Home-1st time was 4.52.
