6-foot-1, 175-pound, LHP skips any kind of rocker step and heads straight into an up-tempo motion, leg lift only gets about waist high and creates a slight little shoulder tilt before heading toward the plate, strides and lands in a closed position but is usually able to get out and over his front side, arm action is long through a high ¾ slot but gets a little stiff near release, finishes in front and under control. Fastball showed some run and sink through the zone when kept down, slider had some slight movement with 2/8 shape, changeup seemed to have some sink on it but missed down a few times.
8/16/15 - The 6-foot, 175-pound lefty works through a high-3/4 to over the top arm slot with regular effort in up tempo delivery. Struggled some with overall command as tended to be quick with lower half leaving pitches up. Showed a heavy fastball with late sinking action when he got out front. Dowless’s fastball sat from 77-78mph topping out at 79mph. Curveball from the 1/7 trajectory with a sharp downward break at 69-70 mph. Dowless had five walks and allowed two hits with one strikeout in two innings of work.
