Bowden on baseball america's prospect hot sheet

 

12. Michael Bowden, rhp, high Class A Lancaster (Red Sox)

 

Another Red Sox prospect who is making batters earn their way on base, Bowden struck out 13 without issuing a walk in 12 innings last week. The 20-year-old allowed 11 hits and didn't give up a run. Bowden has a 1.62 ERA and 41 strikeouts vs. 7 walks in 39 innings.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Bowden Home/Away splits (to give everyone an idea how dominant hes been):

 

Home: 27.1 IP, 27 hits, 7 ER, 6 BB, 27 K, 1 HR, 2.30 ERA

Away: 11.2 IP, 7 hits, 0 ER, 1 BB, 14 K, 0 HR, 0.00 ERA

 

Now the thing about pitching in Lancaster is that its an extreme hitters environment (stevece called it coors-like over on netsports). The fact that hes given up only 1 HR is great and hes dominated even more so on the road away from Lancaster (as well as in Lancaster)

[ORS]

Calling it Coors-like doesn't even touch the surface.

 

[table]Location| R | H | 2B | HR | BB | K

Colorado|1.34|1.22|1.22|1.24|1.08|0.92

Lancaster|1.19|1.20|0.96|1.64|1.18|1.19[/table]

 

These are 3-year weighted for 2003-2005. Link

 

That place is a launching pad. The 3rd worst park factor of every park in professional baseball over that time.

I guess that eliminates the possibility that Stevece and ORS are the same person.

 

They're both pretty sharp! Good table ORS.

.. Youngest pitcher in the EL .. Congrats Michael .. :thumbsup: ..

[castigs850]

the real B's back together again. hope the transition goes smoothly for bowden

[example1]

That's pretty remarkable. It is probably the right place for him.

 

None (few) of us have actually seen him play, but his numbers, his reputation and his performance appear to be accurate: he is extremely well developed for his age.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Id really love to see Bowden and Buchholz pitch, ill have to go to a Portland @ NH Fishercats game this summer where one pitches since thats the nearest Eastern AA team.

 

EDIT: Buchholz

[Cocos Disciples]

Id really love to see Bowden and Ellsbury pitch' date=' ill have to go to a Portland @ NH Fishercats game this summer where one pitches since thats the nearest Eastern AA team.[/quote']

 

I think you mean Buchholz not Ellsbury.

[Rdsxmbnt]

I think you mean Buchholz not Ellsbury.

 

lol wow

[Rdsxmbnt]

Bowdens first start in AA:

 

5IP, 2H, 1ER, 2 BB, 5 K

 

The hit (and ER) sounded like it should have been caught. But he topped out at 95 MPH tonight and from the radio broadcast he sounded really good.

 

 

And his next start is against none other than Roger Clemens

you think there is any chance of that getting televised? you know it would get viewers

Bowden this morning: 4.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5 BB, 3 Ks

 

just didnt have his control today

[Anuj09]

no earned runs shows that he could get out of a jam - hes got balls.

Or he was lucky.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

Or he was lucky.

 

Nice to know he can get lucky...some guys can never buy a break

[Rdsxmbnt]

Today:

 

5.2 IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 Ks (both runs came in the 1st inning)

 

The 0 walks and 6 Ks are certainly encouraging.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Great bounce-back outing for Bowden tonight: 6.2, 3 hits, ER, 2 BB, 8 K

 

All hits were singles, and the 1 run came on an error.

[schillingouttheks]

Then doesn't he have 0 ER?

[Rdsxmbnt]

Im not really good with earned and unearned runs, but a guy got a basehit, stole 2nd and then the SS committed an error that allowed the run to score. So I think because there wasnt 2 outs its earned
