When Luke LaFlam takes the ball and heads to the mound for Grandview this season, and he should be doing so frequently, he’ll be on the Class 5A bump with a decidedly less-complicated repertoire.

The senior for the Wolves in Aurora who has signed with Arizona State won’t be out there trying to throw everything from a fastball to a knuckle-curve ball to an eephus pitch.

No, the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder will be taking his pitching turn with just two pitches, thank you. He’ll be throwing a fastball and a slider. Period. And don’t argue. He also played linebacker for Grandview’s football team that won its league and made the big-school semifinals.
