Bowen joins BPCC after five seasons on the baseball coaching staff at Eastern Kentucky University, where he progressed from volunteer assistant to full-time assistant coach and ultimately served as Director of Player Development. At EKU, he specialized in developing hitters and catchers while coordinating with the pitching staff, contributing to the Colonels’ 2022 Atlantic Sun Conference West Division championship and three straight ASUN tournament appearances. Bowen also played a key role in the growth of former EKU catcher Will King, who was selected in the 20th round of the 2023 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves.

Bowen inherits a program coming off a landmark year in which BPCC clinched the Region XIV North Division title—the Cavaliers’ first conference championship in 25 years and first-ever Region XIV title. The team also hosted the NJCAA Region XIV North Division I Baseball Tournament for the first time in program history.

A graduate of Captain Shreve High School, Bowen was a four-year starter at catcher and earned First-Team All-State honors, a Perfect Game All-American honorable mention, and was named The Shreveport Times 2015 Baseball Player of the Year. He continued his career at the University of Southern Mississippi, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and was a three-time Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll selection. In 2020, Bowen transferred to the University of South Carolina as a graduate student, where he contributed to the Gamecocks’ baseball team and began a master’s degree in health information technology.

Bowen currently serves as BPCC’s hitting coach, collaborating with the Cavaliers’ staff to develop offensive strategies and refine player fundamentals, mindset, and preparation.
