Recommendation: | Luke Livian is a tall athletic Right Handed Starting Pitcher with Closer stuff. His low 3/4 arm slot with good arm speed provides sink and bore on his fastball down in the zone. Luke's fastball accelerates through the zone with great life. His curveball is a sharp, quality swing-and-miss strikeout pitch. His Split (change up) has life, keeps hitters off balance and gets swing-and-misses too. Luke reads hitters and attacks the zone, mainly overpowering hitters at current level. I have coached Luke in Australia, where in 2017 he was our Big Game Pitcher and won the State Championship Final with his complete game 7 inning, 54 pitch Shutout. Luke provides big upside with size 13 feet, long fast-twitch arms, his large frame developing now with a workout routine and great arm speed developing from long toss. I see Luke as a mid-week starter in college while Closing out games on the weekend. Luke also hits for power as a two-way player. |
