"It was just pitchers being able to locate everything," Lowe said of the difference between Class A Advanced and Double-A. "In high A, they know how to locate their fastball and throw their offspeed in there. But once I got to Double-A, they're throwing first pitch changeups for strikes, curveballs for strikes. They knew how to locate everything."
Lowe will get some more reps against advanced pitching prospects in the Arizona Fall League as he looks to get back on track with his approach. Usually a player with good strike-zone discipline, Lowe saw his approach waiver a bit once he was promoted.
