03/19/2023 - National Showcase - Hoover (Birmingham), AL Luke is a 2024 C prospect from Thomasville, AL. Behind the dish, he shows off active, efficient footwork. In his squat, he gets in a low, athletic position that is squared to his pitcher and presents a low target. He has a quick exchange and quick release with a loose arm action from a 3/4 arm slot. His arm strength works through to his target. He does a good job of keeping his head still while receiving/blocking. He's very comfortable with the position and has a strong acumen for the spot. At the plate, Luke starts with a squared stance and features a short stride with a good load. His lower half leads and he has a smooth rhythm with his swing. He does a good job of keeping his balance centered throughout his swing. He works hard to stay through the baseball and exhibits some pop to the pull-side. He has a nice on-plane swing and recorded a max exit velo of 84 MPH. Excited to see more of Luke in the next year!
