Why would he not be? Because of the Tommy John surgery?
He was dominating before the injury and on track to debut in the majors. He's got a lot of things to appreciate.

He's been around for what 5 years now? And in that time he hasn't really pitched all that much. He's 25 and hasn't made it past High A ball. Just hard to get excited about someone that didn't pitch but 17 innings last year. Way too small a sample size of success as a 24 yr old in High A. 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.

I guess it's Royals or bust now - if they even play baseball. I hope they wait to bring the kids up instead of start them right away. Get that service time. yeah I'm that guy.

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.

Keith Law has his top 100 prospects out today. Adley Rutschman with the Orioles is #1 and Bobby Witt Jr is #2. Royals have 4 in his top 100.

Keith Law's farm system rankings are posted at The Athletic. Frustratingly, the Dodgers sit atop of the rankings. Just think about that. The franchise that can most afford to say "screw the luxury tax" and outbid for whatever player they want is also the franchise that's most stocked with young talent.
That said, even with all our pitchers that graduated from the farm system last year, Law has us moving up from 15 to 7. 7. Kansas City Royals Last year: No. 15 We are not talking about the seismic change in Kansas City’s offensive approach in the minors last year. It went from an 8.3 percent walk rate from hitters on its four full-season affiliates in 2019 to a 10.9 percent walk rate at those four levels last year – a jump of nearly a third. It’s the result of a top-down decision to change how the organization teaches hitters to approach at-bats, and it worked wonders. It may have saved the careers of Nick Pratto and MJ Melendez, it took Bobby Witt Jr. to the next level as a prospect, and it elevated several second-tier prospects to give them a chance to be regulars. The system’s weakness is now on the pitching side, in part the result of graduating so many arms to the majors in the last two years – the college pitchers they took with their first four picks in 2018 all lost rookie status in that period – but it began to replenish with two high-upside high school arms in the 2021 class. That change on the hitting side was long overdue, but its effects were immediate and are going to show up on the major-league roster this year. EDIT: FWIW, we're the top AL Central farm system, with Cleveland right behind us at 8, Detroit at 12 and Minni at 18 and Chi at 30.

I'm excited for this coming season, the young kids should mesh well with the vet's.
