Jimmy Glowenke

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #110 prospect in 2020 draft
  Glowenke is the kind of productive college middle infielder that often proves to be a valuable pick, even if he doesn’t have to wonder if he’ll hear his name called in the top two rounds. Glowenke has been a productive bat for Dallas Baptist for three years and he hit .296 last summer in the Cape Cod League. He’s a career .340/.433/.506 hitter who was hitting .415 in 13 games in 2020. After starting every game at shortstop in his first two years with the Patriots, he didn’t get a chance to play in the field this spring. He was coming back from an elbow injury that required surgery (but not Tommy John) last fall. Glowenke has a middle infielder’s actions and reliable hands. Before the injury, his fringe-average arm already led to concerns he’ll need to move to second base eventually in pro ball. Scouts also wonder if a below-average runner really fits at short long-term. Glowenke is an above-average hitter with enough thump to reach double digits in home runs. His reliable bat makes him a useful fourth-to-fifth round pick.

• July, 2021 Scouting Report
  Glowenke was taken by the Giants in the supplemental second round of the 2020 draft but didn't get a chance to show his stuff because he was recovering from Tommy John surgery he had while still at Oklahoma State. He started the 2021 season slowly but in July has started to kick off the rust and perform like the player San Francisco expected. He's likely to wind up at second base, but his contact skills and potentially average power should give him plenty of value.
