Colorado Rockies catching prospect Jack O'Dowd is showcasing an impressive power surge in the Arizona Fall League for the Salt River Rafters. Through his first 10 games, the 25-year-old has slashed .350/.381/.825 with five home runs and 12 RBIs, which included the league's first multi-homer performance of the season against Peoria.
