08/05/2012 - College PREP - Dublin (Columbus), OH Luke is an athletic looking shortstop that will graduate in 2013. Defensively, he shows good pre-pitch preparation, active feet and soft hands to field. He takes a low approach to the ball with a quick and clean exchange to throw. He has good arm strength across the diamond with carry and accuracy. The main areas to work on defensively is his back hand approach and to play on the balls of his feet to maintain range. At the plate, he shows an athletic stance with good balance allowing him to make good use of his lower half. He consistently squares up the baseball with his on plane swing and good extension after contact. He shows a middle of the field approach with a quiet head throughout his swing. A better pre-pitch load and rhythm will give him more bat speed and power to the gaps. Luke is a solid player that will continue to improve through hard work.
