2/23/23

RHP Luke Blackwell (Valmeyer, IL, 2026) is a lanky, long-levered projectable athlete to follow from this event with his high school career set to start shortly. Blackwell moves down the mound well for standing at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds and, with a few mechanical adjustments, should add more velocity down the road, presently topping at 80 mph. He spun a 69-71 mph breaking ball around the zone, and flashed arm-side feel for his 71-73 mph changeup, throwing it at fastball arm speed. 

2/20/23

Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-2, 185-pounds. Lean frame with highly projectable levers.
Delivery: Tempo'd delivery, front hip turns in at balance point, gets onto his backside some to get downhill. Works across body, lands onto an open toe, square finish.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action with a high back elbow that finishes from a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T80, 80-80 mph. Cuts it some, strikes. Clean out the hand, more velocity to come soon. T1994, 1949 average rpm.
CB: 69-71 mph. 11/5 shape, tight spin with depth at times, developing feel for the zone. T1979, 1851 average rpm.
CH: 71-73 mph. Kills spin, thrown at fastball arm speed, feel to fade it to the arm-side of the plate. T1591, 1483 average rpm.
