Cooper Bowman Homers Three Times In Big Week
4 months agoOakland Athletics infield prospect Cooper Bowman has a short, right-handed swing that allows him to make plenty of contact while keeping his strikeout rate in check. He's not a major power threat but rather will attack teams with his ability to get on base and swipe bags. His excellent run tool not only helps him on the basepaths but could also allow him to succeed in the outfield should Oakland look to move him off second base (or at least experiment with him at numerous positions). Last week, Bowman went 9-for-20 with three homers, five RBI, four walks, and just two strikeouts. In addition to his advanced results at the plate, he swiped three bags on three attempts. At age 24, Bowman could be pushing for a promotion to Triple-A sometime in August.
