Cowen

2.23.13 Cowen has a prototypical projectable body.  The 6-foot-4, 170-pound Cowen has more left in the tank.  He worked out both in the outfield and on the mound.  Has a long arm action from the outfield.  Threw 80mph from OF.  Kept the ball low utilizing the long hop well.  Shows good instincts. At the plate, he was balanced.  Has good levers to work with.  Has low hands at setup.  Uphill swing looking to drive the baseball.  

On the mound fastball primarily worked from 81-83mph. Can use his legs more in his delivery which leads us to believe there is more in the tank.  Has smooth delivery implementing the use of a half turn to create some deception.  Arm works wel. Breaking ball sat between 66-68mph. Change was 71-73mph. Cowen should add pounds and velocity over the next two years.  Definitely one to follow.
