BA:
Bowden was making a salary drive a month before the draft, throwing a
seven-inning perfect game with 19 strikeouts in front of a slew of scouts.
After allowing a three-run homer in his first start of the season, he has
surrendered just one earned run since while establishing himself as a solid
supplemental first-round pick. Bowden showed consistently good stuff all
spring, pitching at 90-92 mph every time out and backing up his fastball with
a plus curveball. He also has an advanced changeup for a high school pitcher
and a strong frame. Bowden's delivery is a little unorthodox, but he repeats
it well and throws strikes. He'll have to refine his location at the next
level and should be able to do so. He's a quality athlete—one scouting
director clocked him in 4.2 seconds from the right side of the plate to first
base—and scouts rave about his makeup.
