Sure there are things to still like about the guy, but there are quite a bit more guys in the system i'd consider richer prospects than Bowlan that didn't get listed.

He started last season at AA and made 4 starts there before his elbow popped. Definitely has made it past High A.
He was not as advanced as Jonathan Lynch or Singer or Bubic in that 2018 draft class, so he was always a level behind them. That and the injury and COVID delayed him a bit. Would have been in the majors last season had he stayed healthy.
TINSTAAPP, of course. But assuming he comes back strong from TJ (no indications he isn't or shouldn't) he's still very intriguing/exciting.
