RHP/1B Luke DeWitt (Canyon View, 2024)
6-foot-3 200 pounds, large build, seen athleticism increase over the last year. Strength is throughout the body. (Running) 7.85 runner in the 60. (Offense) RH. Max EV 92. Max Dist. 350. Base is outside of shoulder width and slightly open. Some weight pushed to the back side and bat is laid out flat off the back shoulder. Knee to knee leg kick stride as some weight is compressed into the back knee. Hands are fired from starting position with a very direct path. Gets to a strong position at contact, body works well together and stays pretty connected. Showed some feel for the barrel, misses were due to timing. Consistent and repeatable bat path, big body and simple swing shows success in the future as power potential bat. Majority fly ball contact to the middle of the field. (Defense) (1B) RH. IF velo 82. Big target at 1B. Showed he can handle the high throw with size. Direction of stretches while receiving put him in a good spot. Arm plays from 1B with throws to 2B and 3B. Showed understanding for body positioning and footwork while fielding. Have seen much improvement over the last year with athleticism and glove work at 1B.
Game action: 0-0 3BB
Luke DeWitt (Canyon View, 2024)
Large build with strength. Body has made improvements over the last year, room for some added athleticism. 7.50 runner in the 60. (Hitting) RH. Max EV 93.4 mph. Max Dist. 325 feet. Sets up with some weight on the back side. Hands held lower. Slight bend in the knees. Uses a direct stride to pitcher, gains a small amount of ground with stride. Effortless swing with simple actions and bat path. Has natural leverage that he uses well. Does not over swing and uses the middle of the field well. Ball jumps off the ball with back spin flight. Added strength and reps could turn him to a whole field type power bat.
Game Results: 1-2 BB
