Luke Smith is a 2021 RHP/OF with a 5-10 152 lb. frame from Lynn, AL who attends Curry High School. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a lean, projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.44 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, does a nice job of implementing lower half in drive down the mound, lands on line with strike foot while staying short through the back and getting to a thee-quarters release point. Generates extension out front and shows life to arm side on fastball, topped out at 81 mph and worked in on righthanded hitters well. Nice feel for three pitches and worked within the zone, stays on top well and creates nice plane. Curveball shows 10-4 shape with some sweep to finish at 62 mph; flashed changeup at 68 mph and will continue to develop release. Nice arm strength from the outfield, extra step at release, shows clean and fluid actions to and through the ball with on line carry to the intended base. Righthanded hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a medium hand set with high back elbow in the box. Upper body dominant swing, lien drive swing plane through the zone and does a nice job of getting extended out front; creates line drive contact and worked the middle and pull side parts of the field. Very good student.
