6'6" 285

The Katy, Texas, native hit .323 with 18 doubles, a triple, eight home runs and 40 RBIs in his senior campaign. He also stole a team-high 15 bases in 19 attempts and scored 44 runs. Bowles, who was named the C-USA Hitter of the Week on March 26, is the third Roadrunner to be drafted by the Phillies, and second in the past two seasons. Former outfielder Kevin Markham was picked in the 24th round by the N.L. club in 2017.

Jones, the Bulldogs' hard-throwing right-handed pitcher, closed out his junior season with a 4.64 earned run average. He owns an 11-10 record in his career and has routinely touched 95 miles per hour on the radar gun. Last season alone, Jones struck out a career-high 47 hitters and only walked 17 in 54.1 innings pitched.

Matheu Nelson is a 2018 C/1B/3B with a 5-11 195 lb. frame from Largo, FL who attends Calvary Christian HS. Medium build with good present strength. Good set up behind the plate, balanced quick actions, compact arm and release, repeats his footwork and mechanics well, very good raw arm strength, has all the tools and fundamentals to be a high level defensive catcher. Right handed hitter, has quick hands at the plate, hand load is a bit busy, quick direct swing once he gets it going, consistent line drive contact, works the middle of the field. Polished player. Good student, verbal commitment to Florida State.

Top reliever for Kankakee's 2017 NJCAA Division II National Championship team… recorded nine saves and a 2-0 record in 27 appearances over 30.0 innings pitched, with 39 strikeouts against just eight walks.

With a long and lean frame standing 6-foot-6, 180-pounds, McKay shows a good amount of functional strength. The Kansas State transfer, has a clean and well-timed delivery from a high three-quarters arm slot. He hides the ball well in behind him before delivering to the plate. With just a waist high leg lift and minimal lower half input, it appears that there is much more in the tank for the Howard starter.
