Over his last 240.2 innings pitched between A+ & AA, Lowther earned a 2.54 ERA (3.11 FIP), 17.1% K-BB (254:89 K:BB) & a 1.10 WHIP
What’s more, over his final six starts of 2019 pitching in AA, he earned a 25.3% K-BB & 2.35 FIP over 38.0 innings pitched

He throws a 4SFB that doesn’t have elite velocity, but it does have elite spin because of how he throws it—a low arm slot matched with excellent extension
His CU is an above average offering that’ll miss plenty of bats & his CH & SL should be serviceable offerings

Fun Facts:
Over 59 career minor league starts, he’s never allowed more than 5 runs in any start, & he only allowed 5 runs twice
Furthermore, he’s gone 6.0+ innings in 45.8% of his starts & he’s earned 6+ strikeouts in 62.7% of his starts

His natural pitchability & pound-the-zone mentality should allow him to be—at worst—a backend starter, with the upside to be a mid-rotation guy
He’s yet to pitch in AAA, but if the #Orioles call his name in 2021, I like his chances of sticking in the rotation

For those in deep best ball leagues, this is the type of arm you may want to consider targeting with your very last pick.
For those in deeper dynasty leagues—roto or points—go pick him up if he’s available, if you have the roster space.
