Joshua Lowe, 3B, Pope HS (GA)

Lowe, a 6-foot-4 lefty hitter with a commitment to Florida State, is a high-upside hitter with the ability to play either third base or center field (though it will be interesting to see how his size might affect his range at those positions down the road.) He’s considered to have major power potential, and his elite athleticism gives him a shot to develop into a five-tool player at some point. Lowe, who has also garnered first-round consideration as a pitcher, has been connected to the Cardinals by ESPN’s Keith Law.
