He was named the Player of the Year in 2011 for the NCAA All-East Region.
The Cleveland Indians drafted Lowery in the 4th round of the 2011 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Bob Mayer for a reported $220,000 and made his pro debut that summer. Lowery played in the Indians minor league system from 2011-2015 and in the Washington Nationals organization from 2016-2019. He reached AAA in 2018 for 12 games with the Syracuse Chiefs.
