School: Memphis Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Mets ’19 (27)
Age At Draft: 23.5
The Mets drafted Fowler out of high school in the 27th round in 2019, but he made it to campus at Northwest Mississippi JC and then transferred to Oklahoma in 2021. Following that season, Fowler transferred to Memphis, where he moved from the bullpen to a full-time starting role. In 2023, Fowler posted a 4.24 ERA through 15 starts and 85 innings, with a 30.6% strikeout rate and an 11.7% walk rate. A tall and projectable, 6-foot-6, 200-pound lefthander, Fowler throws a fastball in the low 90s that has reached upper-90s velocity at peak, and mostly uses a mid-80s slider as his go-to secondary. He will occasionally throw a mid-80s changeup but he uses the pitch infrequently.

An Ole Miss signee, Fowler went 6-2, 3.76 with 12.2 strikeouts per nine innings and 6.0 walks per nine as a freshman this season. As a young 6-foot-5 lefthander, Fowler is still quite inconsistent. But he has an 89-94 mph fastball with some run and sink that could continue to improve and he can spin a quality breaking ball. Fowler shows a willingness and ability to pitch to both sides of the plate already.
