LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National PreDraft Showcase
RHP/OF D.T McDowell: McDowell swung between both pitcher and player at the Showcase, as he usually does in most games and events. Off the mound, McDowell was steady in the 87-88 mph area, down a couple of mph’s from when we’ve seen him consistently in the past. He didn’t throw especially well from the outfield, either, so we suspect that all his high school innings from the spring have taken a temporary toll on his arm strength. McDowell took an impressive batting practice, launching several balls well over the left field bleachers with an aggressive, strong swing. He’s signed to play football at Troy State but appears serious about pursuing a baseball career as well.
