Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Boes
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round CBB
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Tall, physically-developed frame with little room for additional gains;sloping shoulders with long arms; wide hips with thick thighs and legs. Some unorthodox movements in the box; frame and athleticism reminds me of Sean Casey.
Hit: Upright, open stance with feet just outside of shoulder-width; hands start at the letters but move away from the body and back heading into load; weight favors the back foot but will occasionally lunge at breaking pitches; plus bat speed but a long swing; needs to get started early. Swing and miss issues, especially against same-sided pitching and spin. Save a shortened bat path adjustment, hit tool figures to play below average. Grade: 40
Power: Legitimate plus raw power that favors the pull field heavily; capable of moonshot home runs, but contact issues may suppress home run totals at the next level. Grade: 55
Field: Average, steady defender in the outfield capable of making the expected plays; lacks speed necessary to cut off balls in the gap or fill a highlight tape. Mostly center currently, likely a corner spot long-term. Grade: 50
Arm: Plus arm; uses long levers to show carry on throws with minimal effort. Throws are accurate; arm could play at any spot in the grass. Grade: 60
Run: Long, galloping strides in the outfield and on the base paths; lacks twitchy acceleration and likely to lose a step as frame reaches physical projection. Still an average runner at the next level capable of a handful of stolen bases across a full season. Grade: 50
Overall: Stowers' size and power are exciting, but the approach deficiencies may never allow the power to reach its true potential. Considering his struggles against lefties, a platoon or utility outfield option is a realistic outcome at the next level, with his floor being an organizational soldier-type.
