While playing for Stanford, in 2004 Lowrie gained the Pac-10 Player of the Year honors, and was selected for the First Team All-American by Baseball America, Louisville Slugger and Sports Weekly. Then, in 2005 was honored for the First Team Preseason All-American by Baseball America, Louisville Slugger, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
From 2005 through 2007, Lowrie has played for Boston at three different minor league levels.
