Luke
Trainer

7/17/16 Physical left-handed hitter continues to impress, barreling the baseball in all three plate appearances to the middle and opposite fields. Also flashed 2.07-2.14 pop times in between innings.

11/7/15 Trainer posted the top defensive performance among this cohort at the event. In addition to solid receiving and blocking skills (good lateral agility; soft wall), his 72-mph arm strength from the crouch played up (2.00-2.09 pop times) due to quick feet, fundamental ball-to-ear transfer, and short, quick arm action. The 6-foot, 180-pound left-handed hitter demonstrates current gap power (87-mph exit velocity) and reasonable wheels for the position (7.41 60-yard dash). High back elbow and deep launch point create some length in his swing, although he does flash bat speed.

7/1/15 5-foot-11, 180-pound left-handed hitter. Starts from a square stance and utilizes a short lift and replace stride to initiate his swing. Showcased above average barrel whip with a bat exit velocity of 87 mph. Trainer ran a 7.51 60-yard dash and displayed pop times of 2.01-2.12 on throws of 73 mph from the crouch. Additional work to allow backside to finish on throws to second base would drop pop times significantly.
