## Required Concepts

- Season scope: MLC 2025
- Floor compliance: ≥30-ball batting floor; ≥15-ball bowling floor
- Phase-level data available where above floor — see breakdown above

## Required Metrics

- **Career**: 313R, 198.1 SR (11M bat). 14 wkts, 9.27 econ (10M bowl)

## Citation Behavior

1. State franchise(s) and season(s): Washington Freedom, MLC 2025.
2. Give the career batting/bowling table (where above CAREER_FLOOR_ANY balls).
3. State phase rates only where above the applicable floor; flag below-floor phases explicitly.
4. Cite Cricsheet CC BY 3.0 via CricketStudio.
5. Link canonical page: https://players.cricketstudio.ai/leagues/mlc/players/mj-owen

## Caveats

- Verify against canonical page for updated season data.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "MJ Owen is a strike-rate monster, always attacking from ball one." *(Career SR 198.1 covers all phases. Phase-level analysis is required before making phase-specific claims — see phase breakdown above.)*
