Background: Bowie used his place on the 40-man roster as motivation to put his career in high gear in 1998. He enjoyed his most consistent season at Greenville and relished the role as the number one starter in August after Chen and Perez were promoted to Triple-A. He added to that performance with a strong showing in the Arizona Fall League. Strengths: Bowie's fastball is sneaky fast, consistently reaching as high as 91 mph. His best pitch is a changeup, and he has command of three pitches. He blossomed into a leader on the pitching staff, a trait he had not shown in the past. Weaknesses: Bowie has a tendency to give hitters too much credit and pitch around them instead of challenging them. His curveball needs more consistency and must remain low in the strike zone. The Future: Bowie will take his game to Richmond in 1999 and should be knocking on the majors' door by the end of the campaign.
