Jase Bowen’s offseason started with an emergency appendectomy the first day he arrived in the Dominican for a camp the Pittsburgh Pirates were having. The 2019 11th rounder had to face all these trials with the heart of a lion.
“This offseason was full of ups and downs,” Bowen said. “The surgery really sucked, but it helped me find myself mentally and forced me to work on my mental game and adjust the way I think about the game and this profession. When I was finally able to get going, I started to make strides and fond myself in situations that made me better as a player.
