Washington U.'s Lowery still dreaming of baseball career - STLtoday.com
Those 50 games flew by. In total, Lowery hit. But like the overwhelming majority of Division III baseball players, Lowery went undrafted during last week’s MLB Draft. However, Lowery isn’t letting that deter him from pursuing either of his aspirations: becoming a professional baseball player or becoming a mechanical engineer. “If someone gives me a call and asks if I want to come play baseball for a living, I’m going to drop everything and go follow my dream,” Lowery said. In high school, Lowery wasn’t always expecting to make such a decision. ” The 5-foot-10 Lowery was never big enough to hit the ball with the power of many high school standouts. But Lowery enrolled in hitting lessons and improved his swing. Suddenly, between his sophomore and junior seasons, Lowery encountered a five-inch growth spurt. His new body and his work ethic were a formula for success, as Lowery won a starting spot and notched a state championship his junior year. “I’m a big fan of the idea that you make your own luck,” Lowery said. “My whole life I was just competing to make a team, so I never really thought about the next level,” Lowery said.
