“These are two very exciting players on the Larks roster that are big pieces to our championship push,” said Larks head coach Sean Repay. “Both are without a doubt high level pro prospects.” Get to know them in today’s Surveying The Field provided by Frontier Precision!

The Bismarck Larks announced that Ty Condel and Cooper Bowman will join them for the 2019 season.

Condel is a 6’2” 185-pound junior at Texas A&M. Through 13 games played so far this year, he is batting .250 with 7 runs, 11 hits and 2 RBI. He played at Temple College freshman and sophomore before transferring to Texas A&M. He batted .415 his sophomore year at Temple.

“It’s a good spot to develop my game,” Condel said about Bismarck. “I’m really just excited to meet some of the guys.”

“Ty is a duel threat player that can bring speed and power to the top of the lineup,” Repay said. “He is also a plus defender. I expect Texas A&M to make a deep post season run and he will no doubt have an impact on them doing so. We cannot wait to have him man center field every day for us when he arrives.”

Bowman is a 6’1” 175-pound freshman at Iowa Western Community College. Through 34 games played so far in 2019, he is batting .427 with 47 runs, 41 hits and 14 RBI.

Bowman is from Rapid City, South Dakota and is excited to be playing so close to home in the challenging Northwoods League.

“All you try to do in the summer is get better,” Bowman said. “The better competition, the better you play.”

“I truly believe we have one of the best junior college players in the country in a Larks uniform with Cooper Bowman,” Repay said. “He starts at short stop for the number three junior college in the country and is hitting well over .400. He is a premier defender and can run at a high level. He is going to be a special player that Larks fans should keep an eye on.”

Both players have been playing baseball their whole lives and their talent on the field reflects that.

Condel was heavily influenced by two older brothers who both played baseball. “Baseball has been my life growing up,” he said. “Enjoy every moment of it and take nothing for granted.”

“It’s what I do all day,” Bowman said. “It’s what I have been working towards my entire life. I’m just excited that I get to play this summer in Bismarck.

“I think the biggest thing about baseball is it brings so many people together,” Condel said.
