Dawson Fowler (‘28, SC) • SS • Uncommitted • 6’3 190lb

HR: 95 mph EV / 39.4° LA / 322ft

Fowler came in clutch for his team. This Lanky RHH, has a lot of room to grow and fill out. Athletic stance, medium leg lift and controlled hover. Stays short, keeping his hands inside the baseball giving him a knack for finding barrels. Throughout the whole tournament Fowler has been able to find barrels and today paid off with this 2-run HR. Definitely a very interesting player to keep an eye on as he continues to grow and develop. Will be an impactful player wherever he ends up.
