The North Central Texas JC commit showed why he is already a coveted recruit for the Lions. There is an ease to his game with natural actions in the outfield and simple strength at the plate. Pike has a strong frame at 6-foot, 185-pounds, and generates plenty of bat speed (92 mph) and leverage with fast hands and natural lift as he attacks the inside of the baseball with whip in his barrel. During the game, he scorched a double to left centerfield. In the outfield, Pike threw 88 from the outfield with a quick, low effort arm stroke. On the infield, Pike has quickish footwork and soft hands as he plays low. Clean release with a quick exchange, the arm works well from different slots and threw with a top velocity across the diamond of 84 mph.
