Fowler was drafted right out of high school in the 14th round of the 2004 MLB Draft. The center fielder made his major league debut for the Colorado Rockies in 2008, where he played for six seasons. After a short stint with the Houston Astros, Fowler was traded to the Cubs in 2015, where he earned his first All-Star selection and was a key part of the 2016 World Series championship team’s No. 1 seed.
After the 2016 season, Fowler was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals. He retired from baseball in 2021 with the Los Angeles Angels.
