Scouting Report

Draft

Video scouting report »

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 his ERA 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 ever to repeat as ACC pitcher of the year and 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'll be the Demon Deacons' third pitcher taken in the first round in the last four Drafts, and he's a significantly better prospect than predecessors Jared Shuster (2020) and Ryan Cusick (2021).

Lowder owns 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 one of the highest floors in this Draft and should become at least a durable mid-rotation starter.

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.

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.
