Freshman (2019): Transfered to FSW from Stetson where he saw action in three games, all in relief.
High School: Prepped at Key West High School. He posted a career 12-1 record with a 2.30 ERA. Knowles struck out 141 opposing hitters in 97 innings of work in his KWHS career. He was named the Monroe County Player of the Year as a senior after going 10-1 before being selected in the 27th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft by the Texas Rangers.
PG -
Another 3rd year JUCO player, Knowles was drafted out of high school by the Rays but opted not to sign, and should be a big piece to the FSW puzzle this spring. A solidly-built right-hander, Knowles is something of a short-strider downhill, getting over his front side well and showing the ability to leverage the ball down in the strike zone. He worked 87-89 mph with the fastball, showing some life to the arm side on the pitch, and mixed in a curveball that he consistently landed in zone as well as a changeup with some fading life, with the curveball in the 79-82 mph range and the changeup clocking in at 80-81 mph.
