The 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-hander has an exceptionally clean arm action, operating from a high-3/4 slot. Lutz commands the strike zone with three pitches, including an effortless 87-88 mph fastball. Lutz's 79-80 changeup appears to be a plus pitch, as it had late fade and identical arm action. With his free and easy arm action, Lutz should see his velocity climb as he physically develops.

No doubt he is a premier prospect in the Class of 2012. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Lutz established himself as one of the top right-handed pitching prospects in the Class of 2012. Lutz effortlessly sat at 87-88 mph with his fastball, coming from a high-3/4 arm slot. Lutz displayed a clean, fluid arm action and showed rhythm and mound presence. His curveball had tight, late break. Additionally, he displayed good feel for his change, which exhibited late, downward arm-side movement. He showed repeatable mechanics and arm action with all three pitches. At the plate, Lutz showed good bat speed and an explosive lower half with some power potential. Two-way talent showed mid-80s fastball, good feel Athletic two-way talent has strong arm (82-85 mph)
