2017 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Luke Pillarella is a 2018 2B/3B, SS with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Center Valley, PA who attends Moravian Academy. Medium frame with a lean build and wiry strength. Frame projects to support additional strength. Ran a 7.16 sixty-yard dash. Primary second baseman with smooth, easy footwork while rounding the baseball. Clean glove actions while funneling the baseball out front and works through exchange with fluidity. Flashed good first step angles with solid range to each side. Released from a three-quarters arm slot generating accurate, on line carry across the infield topping at 76 miles per hour. Right handed hitter with an upright, even stance and high back elbow set. Shifts into contact with linear action and a simple trigger. Simple, repeatable path to contact and barrel came through the zone on a slightly lifted plane. Flashed good bat speed with present strength at contact. Flashed the barrel control to work to each gap, but also flashed the ability to turn barrel aggressively and work to pull side with authority. Very good student.
