+ '28 LHP Luke Hensley (Danville) is the No. 3 ranked lefty in the class as it stands now, leading another group of talented left-handers. I'd like to note the depth of lefties to this point in the class, but Hensley is one we are bullish on because of his ultra-projectable, 6-foot-4, 185 pound frame and clean-armed look. His fastball worked up to 81 from a higher slot and his secondaries are highlighted by a well-spun (22-2300s) breaking ball in the low-70s.

Hensley, a 6-foot-4 southpaw with major upside in the frame/operation, showed off clean, compact arm action to go along hips that power rotation in the delivery. His fastball reaches 81 for now, but it is easy to dream on more. He also showed an upper-60s breaking ball with 1/7 shape that he was able to use as an out-pitch.
