Michael Bowden

From MLB Power Pros Wiki

Michael Bowden, RHP: All Bowden has done since being the Red Sox's supplemental first round pick in 2005 is perform well at every level. MLB.com's pick for the system's top pitcher, Bowden led the organization in ERA in 2008 and was third in strikeouts. He doesn't walk many (130/29 K/BB ratio in 2008), displaying tremendous command. He's got a bit of an unorthodox delivery, though it doesn't seem to hurt him. He can run his fastball up to about 93 mph with good movement and he's got a great feel for his changeup and his curve looks like it will be at least Major League average in the future as well. When you've got a starter with three pitches who can throw them all for strikes, that's usually a good recipe for success. Don't be surprised if he's one of the first starters to be called upon when there's a need at Fenway.
