The Book on Kaleb Cowart
Prospect Info
Kaleb Cowart
Born 6/2/1992
RHP, LAA
The 2009-10 Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year, Kaleb Cowart is a switch-hitting two-way player that the Angels seem to prefer as a right-handed pitcher... or at least that's how they're describing him so far. Blessed with easy heat in the 92mph range, he can also touch 95mph on occasion. His curve is of the tight and hard variety, and his change is developing at the usual (slow) rate. As a fielder, he's a plus defender quick feet and the expected cannon arm. At the plate, he's stronger from the right side with a long swing but good bat speed. His overall balance of two-way skills has drawn comparisons to Ethan Martin and Casey Kelly. He's probably a better hitter than either, though he may not be quite the pitcher yet.
