  • SSPosition Projection

01/17/2025 - 2025 Baseball Factory Rookie Pre-Season All-America Tournament Luka continues to show as a prospect with his baseball abilities on the diamond. At SS, defensive abilities are solid as he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is firm and presents out front. He utilizes his foot quickness in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate with carry as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. At the plate, he continues to shine through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach, spraying the ball to all fields. Lower half works well through the swing through an aggressive hip turn.

11/17/2024 - National Showcase - Tampa, FL Luka, a shortstop in the 2029 graduating class, possesses a medium frame and athletic build, making him a natural fit for the position. Defensively, he displays fluid footwork and consistently creates strong fielding angles, allowing him to effectively pick out hops and field the ball from an athletic, low position. His solid glove angle and low funnel technique generate good momentum toward his target, resulting in accurate, on-line throws that reach up to 80 mph. At the plate, Luka is a right-handed hitter who starts in an even stance with a quiet head, allowing for excellent focus and balance. He shows strong bat-to-ball skills, swinging with intent and using a short barrel path to make solid, consistent contact. During batting practice, Luka demonstrates the ability to drive the ball to all fields, showcasing his versatility as a hitter. With four more years of development ahead, Luka has a bright future and the potential to continue refining his skills across all aspects of the 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).
