Jackson Kowar, the top pitching prospect in the Royals’ farm system, took the bump against St. Paul, the Twins’ farm club, for the second time in a week on Sunday. While not as dominant as his first time out, he managed to get through five innings and find a feel for his stuff after avoiding early pressure. K
owar’s fastball had a little less juice this time out, working 92-95 mph, topping out at 98 mph but with a tad less control. The Saints jumped on him for three hits and a run in the first inning while threatening in each of the first three innings.
