Player Spotlight
Luke Askew: SS/RHP, (2024) Home School, AR. 5-foot-11, 165-pound proportional athletic build. Above average fluid during batting practice, the right-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 87 mph. Started in an open tall stance with a controlled compact load, then used a controlled small leg kick. Bat speed is quick efficient, uses a short level swing plane and high good extension on his finish. Had a lot of loud contact and found multiple barrels. Up the middle gap to gap approach. Athletic above average while in the infield, recorded position velocities up to 84 mph; has a quick fluid exchange, soft consistent hands, and athletic rhythmic feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic quick. Used a high ¾ slot with a short quick arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the base. Recorded a 60 time of 7.61 at the event. Athletic fluid on the mound, had a high ¾ arm angle and a short clean arm action with quick consistent arm speed. Feel up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Showed athletic consistent balance point with downhill in line shoulders. Lands square with a clean balanced finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 81-82 mph; showed command both sides of the plate down in the zone and tight late action with straight movement. (Max spin 2102; Avg 1996). Shows gradual deceiving action and glove side in the zone control on his 11/5 curveball (65-67). (Max spin 2617; Avg 2567). His heavy changeup (72-73) showed arm side around the zone control and sinking some action.
