Owens

RHP Ronan Owens (Lane Tech, 2026) works out of a well-proportioned, 6-foot-3, 198-pound frame. Working out of a stretch-only delivery, Owens showed a short arm action with a fastball up to 90 mph, but sitting mostly 88-89 mph with quality spin (avg. 2370 rpm). He threw two breaking balls, both playing with similar 11/5 shape and generating around the same average spin rates and movement metrics. He rounded out his mix with an upper-70s changeup that looks to still be developing. Owens remains an uncommitted arm-to-follow closely this spring.

The loose and athletic 6-foot-1, 190-pound righty got the start on the mound Saturday morning for Chicago Warriors Green. Owens (Lane Tech, 2026) worked with a fastball/curveball mix, primarily featuring the fastball throughout the start; sitting 80-83 mph (T84). His curveball was more of a show-pitch with 12/6 action to keep hitters off balance. He induced weak contact throughout his start, forcing ground balls and lazy pop ups, while punching out five over his four innings of work.

RHP/3B Ronan Owens (Lane Tech, 2026) emerged as a name-to-know from the event thanks to his strong showing on both sides of the ball. There’s plenty of upside in his 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame, as he has some strength already attached but looks to still have room to add on more as he matures. He moves well for his size with a simple/repeatable operation and easy effort throughout, delivering his offerings from a ¾ release. His showing on the mound was arguably the best of the day, as he worked his fastball up to 86 mph with run and finish through the zone, also controlling it around the zone throughout his ‘pen. He went to two different breaking balls to pair off the fastball; the first being an 11/5 curveball at 69-72 mph, playing with sharp action at times and some feel around the zone, playing off fastballs placed at the top of the zone. He also went to a shorter, more lateral slider with 10/4 shape to change looks, dumping it in mostly for strikes and occasionally to his arm-side to back-door lefties, playing at 71-73 mph. Despite his prowess on the mound, Owens should not put the bat down anytime soon as he took one of the more intriguing rounds of the day from the right-side of the plate. He creates bat speed with his long levers, stays on-plane and works gap-to-gap while averaging 85.9 mph off the bat. The 7.00 60 runner is an upside prospect to follow moving forward.
