RHP/3B Luke O’Keefe (Lake Central, 2025) is an athletic, two-way prospect at 6-foot, 175-pounds. On the mound his fastball worked in the 83-84 mph range, topping out at 85 mph from a clean over-the-top slot, producing tilt and ride at times. He went to a late fading changeup to pair off his fastball from a similar window, playing at 74-76 mph. To round out his three-pitch mix he went to a short 10/4 slider, 73-75 mph with bullet action. Positionally, his right-handed swing stood out as one to watch in the coming years. It's a fast, athletic swing with balance and rhythm throughout. The ball jumped off his bat differently than his peers. Defensively, he is a fundamentally-sound defender with a strong arm that topped at 81 mph (has been 84 in the past).
