Scouting Report: Lowrie is an intelligent shortstop with a decent glove and average range.  His arm is strong but he needs to work on his throwing accuracy.  Initially, Lowrie was slated for a possible move back to 2B (where he played in college) because of sub-par defensive projections.  However, his defense has really improved during his time in the Sox system, and he's proving that he can play an adequate SS or 3B in the majors. Average speed on the basepaths.  He demonstrated plus power for a middle infielder in college, but at this point he looks to have doubles power and not a lot of home run pop.  Hits for average very well, and equally from both sides of the plate.  Outstanding plate discipline, in true Red Sox form his best attribute may be his ability to work pitchers for good at bats.  Fundamental and athletic. Injury prone, particularly his wrist.
