Stanford Starter Scouting Report (Drew Dowd)

Scouting report: Competitive lefty with a 3-pitch mix - FB sits 87-89, late life and ride in the zone. Big slurvy-curveball that's a weapon against lefties, which we don't have a lot of in the lineup. He'll throw it early in the count against righties to try and get ahead, but it usually misses low and gloveside to a righty. Throws the changeup outside a lot, with late diving action. Mixes them well, but isn't pinpoint with any of them and frequently gets behind in the count because of it.
