"Big imposing LHP with a strong arm. Uses his 6-5 frame well to create downhill leverage. Up to 85, projects for more, improving secondary stuff". Perfect Game-USA

As a junior at San Ramon Valley, where he plays for coach Chris Declercq, Ballowe struck out 75 in 62 innings and posted a 1.80 earned run average. A tall, powerful lefty, he's been named a "Top Prospect" by Perfect Game.

"Will is a big, physical left-hander who has a legitimate chance to become a power arm in the Pac-12 Conference," Meggs said. "We have seen Will in the mid to upper 80's and expect him to pitch in the low 90's before it's all over. Will is a great competitor who is not only very projectable, but also has the type of makeup that will allow him to compete for innings as a freshman. Will is a throwback, he has no fear, he wants the ball and he expects to win."
