LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Steve Dowding is a live bodied 5'10" left handed outfielder from Canada. He showed good workout tools by running a 7.15 in the 60, and hitting 84 mph from the outfield with a quick release. Dowding looks like a good defensive outfielder capable physically of playing centerfield. With the bat, Dowding hits from an open stance and tries to slap the ball on the ground and to the opposite field and run. The wood bat is a bit heavy for him now. Better coverage of the outside half of the plate would help him be more effective in this style. Dowding is listed as a secondary LHP, but didn’t pitch for us despite showing the strong arm. He's very athletic and Steve is a good student.
