View Draft Report

McDowell is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound outfielder and Canadian native who struggled with the bat in his first three seasons with Oregon State but took a step forward in 2023 and continued that progress into 2024. He cut his strikeout rate significantly in 2023 and hit well above .300 in each of the last two seasons with a .382/.485/.632 slash line in 2024 with six home runs and a career-best 15.3% walk rate. McDowell hammered fastballs this spring and hit over .400 against that pitch type, and in general showed solid contact skills, swing decisions and batted ball data, though he’s never homered more than seven times in a single season.
