Rhett Lowder Throws Solid Inning In Futures Game
3 months agoCincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Rhett Lowder pitched in the fifth inning of this year's All-Star Futures Game. On 14 pitches, he allowed a hit and struck out Tampa Bay Rays top prospect Xavier Isaac on a slider. The young righty threw 10 strikes and collected three whiffs. After a rough stretch in Double-A, a solid performance at the Futures Game will hopefully be exactly what Lowder needs to turn things around. Cincinnati's top prospect (per MLB.com) is expected to make his MLB debut sometime this year.
