Zac Lowther

[Frobby]

Lowther got smacked around again today, 3 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 4 K’s.   Hi A ERA now at 3.25.

After a few rough starts in A+, Lowther had a gem today.

5.2 IP, 4H, 1R, 1BB, 7K

17 swinging strikes! Also 3 pop-ups.

The run scored after he left the game.

Now 7 K’s through 4 IP, and one hit.   Pitch count only at 52 so he could get pretty deep into this game if he continues pitching well.

We seem to have a decent number of prospects ready to finish the season in strong form.  Can't really think of anyone coasting into the clubhouse, but plenty of guys from Mountcastle to Hall to possibly Jomar Reyes and plenty in-between who are ready to put in a strong August.

Lowther’s final line: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K’s.   The run, 2 of the hits, and the walk (intentional) all came in the final inning, and all 9 K’s came before that inning.     ERA to 2.76.

You could make a legitimate argument for him being similar to a guy like Singer. Singer was 91-94 most starts,  Lowther is below that, but he’s t94 and he’s a lefty. Plus Singer is doing that on a weekly schedule, rather than a pro workload. Singer and Lowther have comparable breaking balls in that the pitches are more about feel and location than sharp break. Lowther is more deceptive and misses more bats but is less projectable. 

I think Lowther is a 50 FV, and by my assessment, there were only 8 guys who are 55 FV in this draft and no 60 FVs. I had about 40 guys at 50 FV or higher so yeah, I think top 45.

Good Post. Is the lack of a wind up a concern for when he gets to higher levels?

Lowther went 6.2 today, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K’s.    The second run scored on his final pitch of the game.

I'm hype for this guy

What do you mean lack of a wind up?

From the video it looked like he was pitching from the “stretch”. Does he have a more traditional wind up or was there a guy on base we couldn’t see in the video?

It’s different from his stretch delivery, but yeah, it’s simple, kind of like Tillman’s windup.

Another terrific outing for Lowther tonight: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K’s.   ERA at Frederick at 2.50.

Let him finish out at Bowie.  He's ready. Akin can be moved to Norfolk in a corresponding move.
