That's definitely the biggest power projection I've seen for him by anybody.

37 in 1100 minor league PA. 17 in 400 this year at Norfolk, which is about a 25 pace. So not too far off.

Gunnar had 28 this year and I'd say he can hit 30. He had 11 in 295 PAs in Norfolk, which converts to 15 in 400 PAs if you want to compare to Cowser. 37 in 1087 minor league PAs. Obviously a younger age, but still, Cowser compares favorably there.

 

He's left handed, so he has a chance depending on the batted ball profile IMO. Obviously needs to be a major league hitter first.

My Cowser comment has less to do with whether he will make it as a regular big leaguer and more to do with his in game power potential up here. Even if he makes it and becomes a good MLB hitter I see a Nimmo type profile

Nimmo was a HS guy so a bit younger, and in different leagues, but only hit 41 HR in 2612 minor league PAs.

 

Cowser (38 in 1174 PA, 1 in 30) seems to have a bit less but not far from the minor league HR #s of Gunnar (who was younger) (37 in 1087 PAs 1 in 29) and both a bit less than Adley (who was older) (30 in 780 PAs, 1 in 26), with a lot of overlap in teams and leagues. 30 may be pushing it, but he should be capable of 20+ HR power.

One of Nimmos comps on BR is Bryan Reynolds. Nimmo just had his first 20 HR season this year with 24. Reynolds has gone 24,27,24the last 3 years. Thats like 90th percentile I see for a Cowser.

Yeah when you said Nimmo I was thinking like 15ish. If you mean 24ish that seems good to me.

30 HRs is a cute pipedream

 

Noted.

 

I see a guy who's added 25 pounds of muscle, already has a 55 power tool, and we're not talking about cheap shots, either. In ST he hit a shot 476 feet to dead center, and in the AAA championship game he crushed a shot 455 feet to dead center. 

 

Oh, and the fact he will play half his games at freakin Oriole Park plays into that number, too.

IIRC he didn't hit that well once he went back down either? Can't seem to find his game log after he was sent down.

Not terrible, but not great.  777 OPS after returning to Norfolk.  A ton of Ks (53 in 155, 34%).
