Fowler Reveals New At-Bat Song By Up-and-Coming Rap Artist

A 1 for 4 night with a walk and a run scored maintained Fowler's pace as the 4th ranked Outfielder in the National League.

Spin:

On Tuesday night Dexter Fowler strolled to the plate with his usual swag but to an unusual song. While most Rockies fans were expecting to hear Big Sean's "Guap" reverberate from the stadium speakers, they were treated to the unannounced revealing of Fowler's new at-bat song: "Fowler on the Prowler" by Trevor Bauer. Apparently on his off day, Fowler was contacted by Cleveland's future stud pitcher, Trevor Bauer, who beseechingly asked Fowler if he could write a rap song about "the one hitter in baseball who I unequivocally fear." Okay, so Bauer didn't quite use the word unequivocally because he probably doesn't even know that word exists. However, lines in his new rap song lionizing Fowler did include such words as:

"Fowler would crush me like a crash test dummy"

"Fowler would house me which would arouse me"

and other lines that bear Bauer's trademark of awkwardly trying to fit too many words into one line:

"Fowler's like a Plymouth Prowler hitting the gas on fastballs thrown by me Trevor Bauer"

As for the crowd's reaction to Fowler's new entrance song, it was favorable if not downright raucous. Trevor Bauer rocked Coors Field from the speakers rather than the mound, which means that Dexter Fowler could very well soon be credited with changing up the career path of the promising young pitcher who may decide to pursue a rap career instead. Because Dexter Fowler's change-up doesn't alter speed, it alters life.
