McGowan

2021 MLB Draft: Hailing from a town of about 600, McGowan stands at a physical 6-foot-2, 195 pounds and possesses a quick arm through a high-3/4 slot. At his best, he runs his fastball into the upper 90s, sitting mostly 93-95. He backs his heater up with a mid-80s slider that can miss bats, as well as a quality low-80s changeup. His developing command has become average due to his good arm action and delivery that only needs a little polish. The No. 2 junior college prospect in the country, he fanned 109 and walked 30 in 74 innings this spring.

2020 DRAFT: With an aggressive and physical presence at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, McGowan has a quick arm from a high three-quarter slot and challenges hitters with his three-pitch arsenal. He's an athletic right-hander who can sink/tail his fastball to his armside or ride it through the letters at 91-95 mph. He also shows the ability to miss bats with his low-80s breaking ball and his quality 82-84 mph changeup to his armside. His developing command has a chance to become average in the future due to his good arm action and delivery that only needs some polish to the finish. For the 2020 season he finished 4-0 with a 3.31 ERA and struck out 58 while walking 14 in 35.1 IP. Originally from Bokchito, OK (population 632), McGowan is committed to Kansas State for next school year and his signability will have the most to do with his potential selection in a shortened draft this summer.
