Baltimore’s Adam Loewen has decided to give up pitching after suffering through several injuries to his arm and will try to become an outfielder. Loewen was drafted No. 4 overall in 2002, and was named Baltimore’s top prospect by Baseball American in 2004. He was rated second best in 2006. This move is surprising given how rare a move like this is at the major league level, but the successful conversion of Rick Ankiel shows that it can be done.
