Scouting Report

2026

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 65 | Overall: 55

It all started out according to plan. The two-time ACC pitcher of the year was considered one of the more advanced college arms in the 2023 Draft class and was taken No. 7 overall by the Reds with the hope he’d move quickly through the system. That’s exactly what happened in his first full season, one that started in High-A Dayton and ended in Cincinnati, leading to hopes for a full 2025 in the big league rotation. That’s when things went sideways, first with a forearm strain and then an oblique injury that limited him to just 9 1/3 Minor League innings for the season, adding nine more in the Arizona Fall League.

The Reds are optimistic the real Lowder will be back in 2026, with his offseason work pointing to a return of his stuff as well as his surgical precision with it. At his best, he uses a fastball that sits around 94 mph, topping out around 96-97 mph. He can throw a four-seamer up and a lot of two-seamers with sink down for ground-ball outs. He is capable of missing bats with his mid-80s slider and his 86-87 mph fading changeup.

Even with all of the missed time in 2025, Lowder showed off his ability to find the strike zone when he was on the mound, even if it was a bit more control than command in his brief outings. He repeats his delivery well and knows how to mix his pitches and make adjustments. The Reds are giving him a mulligan for last season and saw a very focused pitcher on a mission as he approached the 2026 campaign.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 65 | Overall: 55

Lowder stepped into Wake Forest’s weekend rotation right when he arrived, turning an inconsistent freshman year into a successful one as a sophomore that led to him winning 2022 ACC pitcher of the year honors. He was the conference’s top arm again in 2023 and one of the best in the country, leading to him being the second pitcher taken in that summer’s Draft behind No. 1 pick Paul Skenes. The No. 7 overall selection started his pro career in 2024 with High-A Dayton and ended it with some early success in the big leagues.

The right-hander has long had a reputation for his advanced feel for pitching, so much so that his stuff often gets short shrift. His fastball averaged around 93-94 mph at all levels in 2024, topping out at 96-97 and he throws both a four- and a two-seamer, the latter featuring solid sink to elicit a good amount of ground-ball outs. He has an outstanding changeup, thrown 86-87 mph with a ton of fade and to both sides of the plate when at its best, though he didn’t throw it as much nor was it quite as effective as during his junior year at Wake Forest. He’s leaned more on his mid-80s slider as a pro, throwing it as often as his four-seamer during his big league debut.

One thing the Reds can be sure of is that Lowder is going to be in the strike zone consistently. He repeats his three-quarters arm slot and delivery extremely well and continues to be seen as the pitching prospect with the best pitchability in the game. He showed the ability to make adjustments and succeed as he climbed the ladder quickly, something he’s sure to do when he settles into the big league rotation.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 65 | Overall: 55

Lowder spent three years in Wake Forest’s weekend rotation, improving considerably each year. After posting a 6.12 ERA as a freshman, he brought that down to 3.08 as a sophomore to win ACC pitcher of the year honors and pitched for Team USA that summer. He repeated as the ACC’s top arm in 2023, leading Division I with 15 wins and ranking fourth in ERA (1.87) and strikeouts (143) as the Demon Deacons reached the Men's College World Series for the first time since 1955. Lowder was the second pitcher taken in the 2023 Draft behind No. 1 overall pick Paul Skenes, with the Reds selecting him seventh overall and signing him for $5.7 million.

The right-hander didn’t pitch competitively in 2023 after signing but made a strong impression at instructs in the fall, mostly participating in velocity work as well as an early January check-in camp. Lowder’s feel for pitching is so good that sometimes his pure stuff is underrated. His fastball can tap out at around 97 mph, sitting easily in the 92-95 mph range, and it has more sink than ride, getting a lot of weak ground-ball contact. He brings one of the best changeups in the college game to the Reds, a mid-80s offering with huge fade that he’ll throw to hitters on both sides of the plate. His low-80s slider has more depth than sweep, and it flashes plus.

Lowder is athletic on the mound, repeating his delivery well and using a three-quarters arm slot to fill up the zone. He has a keen understanding of how to set hitters up with his complete repertoire, and he received the most votes for “best pitchability” in MLB Pipeline’s executive poll in 2024, a big reason why there’s an expectation he could move very quickly through the Reds system.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 60 | Overall: 55

After cracking Wake Forest's weekend rotation as a freshman but posting a 6.12 ERA, Lowder nearly halved that to 3.08 last year, ranked second in NCAA Division I with 11 victories, became the first Demon Deacon ever named Atlantic Coast Conference pitcher of the year and pitched for the U.S. Collegiate National Team. This spring, he joined Danny Hultzen as the only players to repeat as ACC pitcher of the year, and he led NCAA D-I with 15 wins and ranked fourth in ERA (1.87) and strikeouts (143, a school record) while pitching Wake to its first College World Series since 1955. He became the Demon Deacons' third pitcher taken in the first round in the past four Drafts when the Reds selected him No. 7 overall and signed him for a below-slot bonus of $5.7 million.

Lowder owned one of the best changeups in college baseball, a plus mid-80s offering with significant fade that he'll use against both left-handers and right-handers. He sets it up with a 92-95 mph fastball that maxes out at 97 and features more sink than ride, so it elicits more ground balls than empty swings. His low-80s slider has more depth than sweep and improved significantly in 2023, grading as a plus pitch at its best.

Lowder repeats his delivery well, providing plenty of strikes from a three-quarters arm slot. There's not much projection remaining in his 6-foot-2 frame, but he earns high marks for his feel for pitching and his competitiveness. He has a very high floor and should become at least a durable mid-rotation starter.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
