At the end of the year, he was named both the San Luis Obispo County Player of the Year and the Los Padres League Most Valuable Player.
Having not received any scholarship offers to play college baseball, Howard chose to attend California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) and major in business.
In August 2015, before arriving at Cal Poly, Howard contacted the Mustangs baseball program and said that he was interested in playing for them.
He impressed coaches at a fall tryout camp, pitching up to 88 mph, and was one of 35 players named to the team.
Howard chose to redshirt his freshman year in order to put on more muscle mass.
He took up a yoga-based athletic program, gained 10 lbs, and improved his fastball speed from 86 – to above 90 mph.
The summer after his freshman year of college, Howard played collegiate summer baseball with the Bellingham Bells of the West Coast League.
Under the supervision of pitching coach Jim Clem, he spent the summer diversifying his pitching repertoire with a new breaking ball and changeup.
Playing as a redshirt freshman in 2016, Howard served as a relief pitcher for the Mustangs, where he posted a 3–1 record and a 2.95 ERA, striking out 39 batters in 36 2⁄3 innings.
Howard also recorded one save.
In his 21 season appearances, Howard averaged more than 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
Howard returned to Bellingham for another season of summer baseball in 2016.
Most of his work with Clem that summer was in building his strength, in the hopes that he would become a starting pitcher.

In 2018, he was assigned to the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws, with whom he pitched the first postseason no-hitter in franchise history.
Howard missed two months of the 2018 season due to a shoulder injury, and played in the Arizona Fall League to make up for the time he missed.
Howard has struggled in the major leagues with maintaining his pitch velocity long into games, an issue that has been traced back to his shoulder injury from 2018.
After working his way up to Double-A in 2019, Howard was one of several Phillies prospects who began the pandemic-shortened 2020 season at an alternate training site, preparing for a major-league call-up.
He made his MLB debut that season, but a recurrence of the shoulder injury limited his output.
Since his major league debut, Howard has struggled with maintaining his pitch velocity into the later innings of a game, and in 2021, he was paired with long reliever Ranger Suárez for his scheduled starts.
Howard was part of a trading deadline deal in 2021 that sent him to the Rangers in exchange for Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy.
