Jack O’Dowd

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #370 prospect in 2020 draft
  The son of former Rockies general manager and current MLB Network analyst Dan O’Dowd, Jack stands out for his baseball savvy and feel for the game. His older brother Chris caught in the minors for the Padres, Rockies, Braves and White Sox organizations, giving Jack plenty of experience with the ins and outs of the game. O’Dowd doesn’t have standout raw tools, and is a hit over power lefthanded bat, but he’s a player who scouts think will get the most out of his ability. He’s a fine defender in the infield at a variety of positions, but some evaluators think he might be best served behind the dish like his brother, thanks to a lack of elite foot speed. O’Dowd is committed to Vanderbilt.
