Rhett Lowder
2025 Player Outlook
Lowder posted a 1.17 ERA (3.10 FIP) in six starts with the club last season, but a 10.9 percent walk rate pushed his WHIP up to 1.27. That walk rate was nearly double what he put forth in the minors, and the strikeouts completely disappeared at the big-league level (17.2 K%). He also didn’t generate ground balls at the same clip he did in the minors, and while he’s a pretty notable name in terms of up-and-coming pitchers, Cincinnati will likely start him in the minors. However, I don’t envision him being down there long. Keep his name on your radar, as there’s a lot of potential with the 22-year-old righty. Lowder should get about 100 IP with the Reds at the MLB level this year, and he’ll be an upside arm worth rostering when that time comes.

Lowder was selected seventh overall in the 2023 MLB Draft following an impressive final collegiate season at Wake Forrest and has continued rolling in his professional debut.

He figures to move quickly and could arrive in Cincinnati sooner than later.
