Shane Patrick Bowers (born July 27, 1971) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Minnesota Twins in 1997.
Born in Glendora, California,[1] Bowers went to Charter Oak High School in Covina, where he played baseball and basketball, before attending Loyola Marymount University.[2] After being selected by the Twins in the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft, Bowers pitched for four different minor league teams from 1993 to 1996.[3] In 1997, he played for the New Britain Rock Cats for two months, recording a 7–2 win–loss record and 3.41 earned run average (ERA) before receiving a promotion to the Salt Lake Buzz, the Twins' Triple-A team. He went 6–0 with the Buzz, earning a call-up to the major leagues by the Twins. His first major league appearance came on July 26 against the Baltimore Orioles; Bowers allowed one run in 5 2⁄3 innings pitched.[4] He started five games for Minnesota in 1997 and posted an 0–3 record, with an 8.05 ERA.[1] Bowers returned to the Buzz for the 1998 season, splitting time between starts and relief appearances and pitching through a fracture in his pitching arm.[5]
In 2001, he went overseas to play for the Yokohama BayStars of Japan's Central League; he started 26 games, going 3–13 with a 4.39 ERA. The following season, he was 4–8 with a 3.77 ERA in 24 appearances. In 2003, he pitched for the Hyundai Unicorns in South Korea, winning 13 games. Bowers last played in the minor leagues in 2004.[3]
