Having a two-way player like Austin Bowker is a luxury for any high school baseball coach to have. Haddon Heights went 21-7 this past spring, including a perfect 10-0 mark in the Colonial Conference’s Liberty Division. A big reason why the Garnets were so successful was because of the pitching and hitting of Bowker.
He was second on the team in hits with 33, batted .371, racked up a team-high 35 RBIs and added seven doubles, 23 runs and even
a home run. On the mound he was just as good, striking out 29 in 31 innings while allowing just 10 earned runs all year, good for a 2.23 ERA.
During his career, Bowker had 50 hits, 46 RBIs, 30 runs and hit .340, while on the bump he finished with a career 1.85 ERA in 45 innings of work.
