Scouting the 2023 Draft: Rhett Lowder

Rhett Lowder RHP.   DOB:  3/8/2022.  6'2", 200 lbs.  

2022(College- Wake Forest):  11-3, 3.08, 9.5 K/9, 2.4 BB/9.

 Solidly build RHP whose best pitch is a changeup which he plays off a two-seam FB that goes 92-97 MPH.  He also has a slider but per MLB Pipeline it grades out as average due to lack of consistency.  He's got fluid arm action out of a 3/4 delivery.  Moderate effort.  Projects as more of a #3 SP in the majors but has a high floor and should move fast in any organization that drafts him.
