Carter Loewen

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #466 prospect in 2020 draft
  A native of Abbotsford, B.C., Loewen pitched for Canada’s junior national team as a teenager and was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 40th round out of high school. He arrived at Hawaii with a torn labrum and needed season-ending surgery as a freshman, then barely pitched the next two seasons as he struggled to regain his previous velocity. A new mobility regimen designed to improve his shoulder flexibility finally unlocked Loewen’s velocity this spring, and he emerged as one of Hawaii’s top relievers. Loewen is a big, physical righthander at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds with big hands and power stuff. His fastball sits 93-95 mph and he’s developed a dominant 89-90 mph cutter. His arm action has improved with his new shoulder exercises and helped him to throw more consistent strikes. Loewen has an exceptional work ethic and is a favorite of coaches for his perseverance through years of rehab.
