2027 SS Lucas Liao put together two of the best rounds of BP on Tuesday night and has already elevated from when we saw him in February. 5-foot-11, 170-pound shortstop out of the Fieldhouse Pirates program and he utilized the entire cage, barreling line-drives for a peak exit velocity of 87mph and average of 81mph. His peak distance of 313f was 5th at the event, Sweet Spot% of 61% was 9th and his Line Drive% of 46% was 7th. On the infield Liao was up to 77mph and ran a 4.24 30-yard dash, his best so far this year. The best we’ve seen Liao so far as he prepares for his junior campaign.
Lucas Liao, Fieldhouse Pirates, 2027 Uncommitted
Positional Profile: SS/2B
Body: 5-11, 170-pounds.
Hit: RHH. 29% Sweet Spot%, 29% Flyball%.
Power: 90.1mph max exit velocity, averaged 82.8mph. 253ft max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-77mph.
ATH: 4.31 runner in the 30. 1.84 30 yard split. 15.8 max vertical.
‘27 INF Lucas Liao out of the Fieldhouse Pirates program has really grown since we saw him last March and now stands at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds which has translated to some louder metrics at the plate and on the infield. The right-handed hitter was on-time throughout his two rounds, consistently finding the barrel (82% Sweet Spot) for line-drive contact to the middle/pullside. Liao’s average exit velocity of 85.0mph was 5th-best among 2027s, along with a peak exit velocity of 91.4mph and peak distance of 302ft. On the infield, Liao worked up to 76mph which was a 4mph uptick from last year. Good start to the year for the Fieldhouse Pirates infielder.
