Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/CPosition Projection

11/14/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Pittsburgh, PA Luke worked out on the mound and behind the plate during his last workout with The Factory. He showed a spike in radar velocity to 83 MPH, and hitting numbers to 40 and 48. On the mound, Luke tracks the ball and sticks it well. He has active feet, uses his body well to block, and throws with a strong/accurate arm to 2nd base. Pop times were as low as 1.98 seconds. If Luke can improve lateral movements and blocking, overall catching will get better. On the mound, Luke has good balance, a clean arm circle, and he keeps his eyes on target well. He works well to his balance point, finishes through toward his target, and his off-speed show promise. Luke can improve on the mound with more glove side lead, lower body, and sharper command. Offensively, Luke is a strong hitter with good balance and a rhythmic swing. He makes hard contact to the pull side and taps into some lower body. Hitting can get better with a shorter swing, more live hands, and more lower body.

08/17/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Columbus, OH Luke is a strong, athletic catcher will graduate in 2023. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner. Pop times showed in 2.15 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows an open setup. He is aggressive as he attacks balls through a level swing path. Hands are quick and stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. With 3 years to further develop, Luke has potential with time and room to progress his game.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
