Prospects Live : How high you rate Stowers is depends on how you view his future power. Average tools across the board, but it’s a bat first profile. FanGraphs : Stowers had a middling year due to issues with swing and miss, partially because he takes such a big, aggressive hack. That style of swinging is appealing to many teams, though, as it makes it likely that he’ll hit for power in games. 2080 Baseball : He made tremendous strides with his bat-to-ball skills, cutting his strikeout rate in half year-over-year. When he’s on, Stowers rotates well, generating torque that produces plus raw power from the left side. D1Baseball.com: His loose hands and the great use of his hips (reminds me of Jason Giambi) in his swing produce torque and plus bat speed with power to all fields. Sports Info Solutions : Stowers does have the potential to be an every day contributor at the major league level, but he will have to make mechanical adjustments to be more consistent, and broaden his approach by going the other way, considering the prevalence of shifting in today’s game. His glove will play in the outfield, although he will likely move to left field.

Stowers came into 2019 with big expectations, stumbled a bit out of the gate, and then really turned it on in conference play (.336/.388/.569 in PAC-12). Power history with wood bats on the Cape shows that the raw power is real and he might have a chance at hitting that ceiling. Made significant improvements in K-rate too. Might be a better fantasy prospect than real life prospect, especially with the potential to flash his LH power at Camden Yards.
