Notes

Comments

3/19/22

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 97 in Illinois’ 2023 class. Strong-bodied left-hander, standing 6-foot-3, 230-pounds. Arm works clean out of the glove into a high ¾ slot. Moves with a fluid tempo down the mound, slight drop/drive lower-half while remaining in-line to the plate, repeats his delivery. His fastball worked comfortably at 83-86 mph with natural running action to the arm-side, missing some barrels after settling in later in the game. Changeup looked to be a promising secondary offering, thrown with control to his arm-side and slight fading action, 77-78 mph. Brown also utilized a sweeping slider at 71-73 mph, playing off 2/8 shape with late action at times.

2/05/22

Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 6-3, 230-pounds. Stocky build. Thick, durable frame.
Delivery: Tall and fall type delivery. Level shoulders. Lands on line with toe closed.
Arm Action: LH. Quick, loose, compact arm action. High 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T87.3, 85.3-86.8 mph. Late life through the zone. T2483, 2405 average rpm.
SL: 73.0-74.8 mph. 2/8 shape. Tight spin with tilt. Out pitch. T2231, 2192 average rpm.
CH: 76.1-77.3 mph. Thrown with conviction. Maintains arm speed. Consistent arm-side fade. T1966, 1884 average rpm.

LHP Luke Brown (Plainfield North, 2023) was arguably the top left-handed arm in attendance on Saturday, and he entered the event with some pedigree behind him too. Standing at 6-foot-3, 230-pounds, the left-hander sat comfortably in the 85-86 mph range (2,405 rpm on average), reaching back for 87 on his last pitch of the day with noticeable arm-side life throughout his 'pen. He showcased a short slider with 1/7 action, thrown with intent and in the 73-75 mph range, complete with impressive feel for the zone. Brown went to a hard, darting changeup in the 76-77 mph range as a third offering, one that he kept down in the zone and maintained his fastball-like arm speed and action, profiling well alongside each other. Overall, Brown gave an intriguing look at his first event in 2022 and he'll be an arm to keep tabs on moving forward, no doubt.

3/13/21
LHP Luke Brown (Plainfield North) has a 6-foot-2, 215-pound strong, durable frame that’s able to produce a clean arm action and projectable three-pitch mix. Despite the fastball playing at a lively 84-85 mph, it was his changeup that showed the best on this day, with the potential to be a go-to secondary offering. It is thrown with intent at arm speed and features advanced arm-side-run, measured at a max of 23.7 inches of horizontal movement, according to TrackMan. Brown also featured a sharp low-70s curveball that spun at an average of 2,294 rpm.
