Hitting
He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
Dowd isn't a fluid right fielder, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm strength is well above average and runners rarely try to take liberties against him. Dowd isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
2025 Outlook
The Victoria Islanders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Dowd like a hot potato if something better comes along.
