A little recruiting insight for parents and student-athletes following along...
The part of Luke's story I think younger players and families need to hear.
Despite the attention from a dozen schools this spring/summer, Luke still needed to get better.
That's not always an easy conversation for a player or his family to hear, especially when college coaches are already showing interest.
Following
@PrepBaseballPA Futures, my advice to Luke and his family was pretty straightforward:
Disappear for a few weeks. Get stronger. Move better. Develop. Show up in the fall as a different pitcher.
Not more showcases. Not more emails to college coaches. Not chasing every opportunity.
GET BETTER.
And to Luke's credit, he bought in.
The Progression:
✅Late August: 90mph, moving so much better downhill
✅Mid-September: New PR of 91mph, with improved SL
✅October: Stable velo with 📈Strike % and weak contact outs
Ultimately, his decision came narrowed down to two incredible opportunities. Two programs that genuinely wanted him, and two places where he could see himself thriving.
That's what recruiting should look like.
Developing as a player, building genuine relationships, understanding your options, and making an informed decision.
And now he's headed to PENN. ⚾️
Couldn't be happier for Luke and his family!
