08/01/2012 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 DeSantis showed at a LHP/1B at the event. Currently, he projects slightly better on the mound for the next level. Arm action is loose, easy, and works well to the plate. Fastball showed a range of 70-74 mph on a slight downhill plane. Breaking ball displays 1/7 shape with gradual break. Command / control are a plus as he throws strikes with all his pitches, locating well to both sides of the plate. At 1B, he displays proper footwork and is a solid receiver at the bag. Hands are soft, clean, and he consistently showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt saving throws. At the plate, Lucas shows a balanced approach with rhythm. He shows good extension with his hands through the ball at contact with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball, utilizing all fields. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great attitude and works very hard.
