WASHINGTON – This was a difficult year for nearly everyone involved in minor league baseball.
And that is certainly the case for former Nationals’ minor leaguer Jake Lowery, who spent part of the 2019 season with the Double-A Harrisburg Senators of the Eastern League.
The catcher/first baseman, a Richmond native and former James Madison University standout, was set to be a player/coach with high Single-A Fredericksburg of the Carolina League in 2020, continuing a nine-year career which saw him reach the Triple-A level in Washington’s system.
But the minor league season was called off due to the pandemic and Lowery was not able to be part of the alternate site in Fredericksburg, Virginia with the 60-player pool.
