"There were some solid expectations for Owen as the Braves were able to agree to terms with him and sign him for $150K following the draft. Any time you have that kind of payout to a player later in the draft it indicates the teams willingness to bank on their scouting, and it's safe to assume Owen made a lot of people happy with his 2025 performance."
"The overall numbers might not stick out to you, as Owen hit .258/.330/.345 across 117 games for the Augusta GreenJackets but it was the in season adjustments, and notes from coaches and scouts that really paint a fantastic picture for Owen. What we saw was a young player showing a very mature approach at the plate, striking out just 15% of the time. He sprayed the ball to all parts of the park, and showed solid gap power with 25 doubles."
"He provided good defense out in the field, with a strong arm. While you want the GB% to drop, as it sat at 49%, his fly ball rate was a solid 31%, and his line drive rate was nearly 20% - both really good indicators of a good swing. It was the summer months that saw his production dip, as he hit .231/.290/.286 in June, and .208/.315/.247 in July, but ended the season on a strong note - hitting .292/.370/.417 across the seasons final 6 games."
