View Draft Report

An undersized, 5-foot-10, 185-pound righthander, Owens sneakily has one of the harder fastballs in the prep class. While he’s small, he can ratchet his fastball into the 97-98 mph range at his best, but he more often sits in the 92-94 mph range, where his control of the pitch is better. There is some effort in his delivery, but not as much as would be expected for a pitcher of his stature who throws that hard. Owens throws out of a three-quarter slot and has a slight plunge in the back. As for secondary pitches, Owens has a slider that flashes the makings of a solid offering, although it’s frequently a fringe-average pitch. He also throws an average changeup, but many think his future will be in the bullpen, where he’ll need to sharpen his slider and could work with a lethal two-pitch mix. Owens is committed to Florida.
