Luke
Anderson

I have known Luke from the beginning of time. A former next door neighbor for 15 years, I have seen his baseball playing progression for years now, and what he does is perform. Anderson committed to BYU in the winter of his sophomore year, and was off to a strong start to his season, before the pandemic shut the season down. Luke had a strong showing at the Fall Prospect ID, with a class best 95.6 exit velo, while displaying solid avg bat speed. A Semi wide, open stance, Luke takes his body back and into the load phase, with a med knee lift and balances while turning the bat into the 45 degree position, allowing for a powerful base, that creates good separation. The path is short and quick with a direct path to the ball and gets length out front and whips the bat into a two hand finish. The arm from the OF is clean and pure with a solid stroke and shows an avg arm with solid one hop carry and is accurate. Not a toolsy player, but does have bat speed and strength and has performed all throughout his young amateur career. 

Anderson didn’t show the big exit velos and distance metrics that he put up at the last event, but still showed top 10 exit and distance data at the All-State. The BYU commit did however produce the 2nd best OF velo of 89 mph and ran a personal best 6.95/60 yard dash. A small in stature OF, who is a strong game player and has consistently produced and has been named MVP at a couple of high level national events. Also a pitcher that didn’t throw at the event, Anderson has touched 89-90 at times coming out of the bullpen for state power Snow Canyon HS.
