LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 WWBA Workout Showcase (June 21)
Luke St John is a 2025 C/MIF with a 6-0 182 lb. frame from Marvin, NC who attends Marvin Ridge. Solid, good looking frame with current strength and room to add mass in the near future. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.17 seconds. Primary position catcher, working from a higher offset initial stance and gaining ground early to get footwork started. Shows quick hands on a good midline transfer before working through an appropriately compact arm action. Real feel for release point, putting the ball on the bag with ease and building throws up to 76 mph with a pop-time best 1.90 seconds. RHH with a nice balanced start and deeper handset with some barrel tilt pre-pitch. Lets the core turn explosively, creating strength at contact and when extended made the ball jump off the barrel. Would get a bit uphill and cut the swing off here and there creating top-spin. Hand quickness and barrel speed are present and middle of the field contact was his best. Will be a tough out when hitting the ball in the oppo-gap. Outstanding student as well.
