Former Maryland 2B Brandon Lowe called up to MLB by Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays now have two former Maryland baseball players on their active roster, as second baseman/outfielder was called up to the big league club on Saturday.

This is Lowe’s first MLB callup. The Rays drafted Lowe in the third round of the 2015 MLB Draft with the 87th overall pick. He spent the last three seasons in the minors, beginning at Class-A Bowling Green in 2016.

However, it was with the Advanced-A Charlotte Stone Crabs where Lowe came into his own. In 90 games, he hit .311/.403/.524 with nine home runs, 46 RBI and 34 doubles on his way to winning the Florida State League Player of the Year.
