The Kansas City Royals selected Jackson Kowar in the first competitive balance round of the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft. The 6’5″ lefty pitcher out of Florida holds a lot of promise. Though he had a rough start to his career, he has started to find success with the Lexington Legends.
The first six games
Jackson Kowar was assigned to the Lexington Legends on July 12. Since, he has made eight starts with the team. His first appearance was one he likely wishes he could forget. He only pitched 0.1 inning, and he gave up three runs on two walks and three hits.
