Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Luke continues to impress with his baseball abilities on the diamond. He did show on the mound for the first time at the event. At SS, feet are aggressive as he attacks ball and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and presents out front. He displays solid actions. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent hard contact through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 61-63 mph with sinking action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with early break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. He attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength and develop off speed pitches will aid in improving stock on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and is a team player.

11/03/2024 - National Showcase - Lebanon (Nashville), TN Luke is a solid SS who has a promising future on the diamond. In the field, he starts in an athletic ready position and fields in a square position. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine through a crouched setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. With 6 years to further develop, Luke has potential with time and room to progress.

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).
