LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 Cedar Rapids Red Organizational Scouting Combine
In the circle, Callie is a right-handed pitcher who throws a fastball, change-up, and a dropball. She throws in the mid-50's and has nice explosion off the mound. She is strong, and with continued work on more snap instead of push, her velocity will skyrocket. She showed great consistency with her fastball and commanded the zone well. She throws a flip change, and does a great job keeping the ball low in the zone. She seels it well with an identical motion as her fastball. Her change falls of the table. Her roll drop is effective when she keeps a tall posture on the pitch. Looks to be a solid strike pitch. Overall, Luerkens has a solid foundation to build upon. We look forward to seeing her continued development in the coming seasons.
Defensively, Callie is a nice fielding 2B that, while working low, shows good movement with nice range. She displayed good footwork around the bag and the ability to make strong accurate throws.
Offensively, Luerkens is a right-handed hitter who has an athletic stance. She loads athletically and with her strong backside fire, generates a good amount of barrel whip. She has a firm front side and good resistance to fire against. She demonstrated the ability to drive the ball gap to gap. Overall she has a solid swing and next level potential for sure.
