| Summary: Yow is one of the fastest players in the class—a true top-of-the-scale runner who consistently puts up elite times to first and puts pressure on defenses. The swing is compact with quick hands, producing frequent contact and surprising impact for his size. He showed the ability to drive the gaps with wood in fall looks, pairing speed with emerging strength. The defensive future remains debated. The actions are athletic and the range plays, but the arm grades out closer to average and gets tested on deep backhands. Even so, the athleticism and twitch give him a chance to stick at shortstop, and it’s too early to move him off the position. A breakout Jupiter elevated his national profile, and the trajectory remains firmly upward. With more physical strength and continued refinement of his defensive consistency, Yow has the ingredients of a top-of-the-order catalyst with real up-the-middle value. | |||||||||||
