7. Rudy Owens, lhp
Born: Dec. 18, 1987 ‧ B-T: L-L ‧ Ht: 6-3 ‧ Wt: 215
Drafted: Chandler-Gilbert (Ariz.) CC, D/F 2006 (28th round)
Signed by: Ted Williams
Background: Signed for $390,000 as a draft-and-follow, Owens posted a 5.06
ERA in his first two pro seasons but has been named Pirates minor league
pitcher of the year in each of the last two. In 2010, he led the Eastern
League in ERA (2.46) and fewest baserunners per nine innings (9.1). He
grew stronger as the season progressed, giving up just six runs and four
walks in his final eight starts.
Scouting Report: Owens grew stronger as the season progressed in another
way, too, as his fastball went from 87-90 to 90-93 mph down the stretch.
The extra velocity highly encouraged the Pirates, who proclaimed that his
soft-tossing-lefty tag no longer applied. His fastball command is
solid—occasionally, it's excellent—and the pitch has some late run. His
secondary offerings, a slurvy breaking ball and a changeup, are no better
than average pitches but he locates them well. Owens' pinpoint control
comes from easily repeating his delivery, and the way he uses it to pick
apart hitter's weaknesses is reminiscent of a young Zach Duke.
The Future: How well Owens retains his added velocity will determine if
he's a mid-rotation starter or more of a back-end option. He'll begin 2011
in Triple-A and could reach Pittsburgh by the end of the season.
