07/27/2022 - Southwest Championships 17U, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One Lucas continues show improvements in his baseball abilities at the SOUTHWEST 17U TOURNAMENT. On the mound, delivery is sound and repeatable, allowing his arm action to work clean to the plate. Arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 84 mph. Fastball showed a range of 79-84 mph with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late / sharp break and shows as a quality pitch. Control is well above average as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. He competes and shows good mound presence. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he increases his foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (83 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing through an aggressive hip turn. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable.
